Ruth and Sam went back to Gloucestershire to live with her parents, while Ceri underwent counselling. They were reunited after his graduation and set up home together in the Forest of Dean. Rebecca was born in and Charlotte in The girls were bridesmaids when their parents finally married in August The children were found dead at a disused quarry in Poles Coppice and Fuller's Land Rover was parked nearby.
In court this week, Ruth, a talented artist and sculptress as well as a keen belly dancer, touched on those feelings of frustration once again when speaking about her decision to embark on an Open University humanities course. I think Ceri was feeling neglected while I was going away to better myself. Certainly, she could have been forgiven for finding anthropologist Mark Highfield something of a dashing figure after the domesticated years she had spent as a housewife and mother.
Ceri Fuller, 35, was found at the bottom of the 60ft cliff in Pontesbury Hill, Shropshire, in July last year. He sold the title on two years later to an Italian genealogist. The twice-married Mr Highfield, who worked as a finance broker before embarking on an academic career, has also purchased another feudal dignity, the Lordship of the Manor of Wilmington in Kent.
He said he had seen the texts so he must have looked at my phone at some point. Ruth sent five texts to Mr Highfield, who lives in Gloucestershire with his wife and also teaches at Cirencester College, between July 11 and 13 last year and received six in reply.
In one of them, she asked if he wanted to go for a drink, before hastily sending another saying that the text had been intended for Ceri. Ruth Fuller's sister Joanna Ballard, pictured arriving at court with her partner, said Ceri Fuller was posessive. At some point that evening, Ceri took a tent from upstairs and she wondered if he was going to take the children camping.
Ruth last saw her husband and children on Thursday, July I will tidy up here. In the hours that followed Ruth underwent some kind of nervous breakdown. Later that day, Ruth was prevented by her father Ron from taking her own life — first he prevented her from taking an overdose before wrestling with her when she took a knife from a kitchen drawer and attempted to stab herself with it.
But while she already suspected something terrible had happened, as far as the rest of her family were concerned, the three children were safe somewhere with Ceri. Flowers were left outside the family home in Milkwall, Gloucestershire, as police investigated the deaths. According to the coroner, they were, in fact, probably already dead. He left the car near a footpath at the entrance and led the children into the woods.
When the car was finally spotted on Monday, July 16, emergency crews, including an air ambulance from RAF Cosford, raced to the scene but it was soon all too clear there was nothing they could do.
It is almost impossible to imagine how she will ever come to terms with the destruction of the family she cherished or what comfort those around her can offer as they try to help her through her grief. That dream has long since vanished, replaced with a living nightmare which is more than any mother should ever have to bear.

Ceri Fuller, pictured on his wedding day to Ruth, was found dead at the foot of the 60ft cliff and his children l - r Rebecca, eight, Charlotte, seven and Sam, 12, suffered stab wounds to their necks, an inquest heard That phrase, the kind uttered by so many in the heat of a marital row, took on a far more tragic significance in the hours that followed when year-old university graduate Ceri drove his three young children to an abandoned quarry and, in an episode of unfathomable brutality, stabbed them to death before throwing himself off a cliff.
