Murderer who shot pregnant love rival is ‘making her own daughter homeless’ after she stood by her
Rena Salmon shot Lorna Stewart, her husband's lover, in September 2002
A MURDERER who killed her pregnant love rival has abandoned the daughter who stood by her during her 14-year prison sentence.
Rena Salmon shot Lorna Stewart, her husband's lover, in September 2002 - when daughter Jasmin was just 10.
Now, despite Jasmin travelling hundreds of miles every month to visit her mum in prison, Salmon, 56, has served her daughter with legal papers which could leave her homeless.
The pair are in a dispute over a flat bought for £50,000, which is now worth as much as £88,000.
Jasmin says her mum loaned her £65,000 to buy the flat two years ago - but she has now received a solicitor's letter claiming it was agreed she would transfer the title into her mum's name upon her release from Askham Grange women's prison, North Yorkshire.
Salmon has also accused her daughter of keeping the £15,000 left over from the purchase of the flat, and withdrawing £11,000 from her debit card.
Body piercer Jasmin, now 24, told : "The whole point was she’d lend me the money – a mortgage from mum, not the bank, because I couldn’t get the credit rating.

"The rest was for renovations and she even said if there was £1,000 left I should go on holiday.
“I can’t believe she’s doing this. I used to speak to mum five times a week. I’ve been there for her, I’ve been through a lot because of what she did. Now she’s turned on her own daughter.”
She added she used to take money using the debit card to give her mum in prison and pay for her solicitor.
Cold-blooded killer Salmon killed her love rival with a double-barrelled shotgun, before sending her husband a text message reading: "I’ve just shot Lorna. This isn’t a joke.”
The Old Bailey was told former Army corporal Salmon drove from Great Shefford in Berkshire to confront Lorna, who was 36 when she died.
Salmon denied murder, telling the court she went to the salon intending to kill herself and claiming diminished responsibility.
Speaking via her flat intercom Salmon declined to comment, telling The Mirror: “I’ve nothing to say thank you.”
