Summary: Woman Sent To Prison (Press, 16 November 1971)
On 15 November 1971, Noma Tenconi, a 36-year-old married woman, was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in London for the manslaughter of New Zealand woman Barbara Doyle. Tenconi had pleaded guilty to the charge, which stemmed from the events that took place on 27 August 1971 in their flat located in Linden Gardens, Chiswick. During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Tenconi and Doyle had been involved in a lesbian relationship. The situation escalated when Doyle expressed her intention to leave the flat to start a new life with another woman. In a fit of rage, Tenconi struck Doyle on the head with an object and subsequently strangled her with a cord, leading to Doyle's death.
