Heartbreaking news from Prestatyn—a community mourns the tragic loss of Angela Shellis, a beloved 45-year-old mum with “a heart full of love and kindness.” Angela was found dead last week, and her 18-year-old son, Tristan Thomas Roberts, has been charged with her murder. He appeared at Mold Crown Court today, where details of the upcoming trial were outlined.
In the wake of this tragedy, a wave of support is emerging, with thousands raised on GoFundMe in Angela’s honour. These funds aim to cover her funeral and memorial costs, while also contributing to mental health and autism charities—a cause close to the family’s heart.
Angela’s sister, Sarah Gunther, expressed the family’s devastation: “As a family, we are heartbroken. Angela was a lovely, happy person who was loved by everyone who met her. Losing her so suddenly has left us shattered, struggling to make sense of this unimaginable loss.”
As the community rallies around Angela’s family during this difficult time, they’re asking for help to give her the farewell she truly deserves. “Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference,” Sarah added. “If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page. We will forever cherish Angela’s memory and keep her spirit alive in everything we do.”
The next court hearing for Tristan is scheduled for December 17, with a trial date set for March 2026. The family is profoundly grateful for the kindness, love, and prayers they have received and welcomes further support, both financial and emotional, as they navigate the tough journey ahead. Thank you, everyone, for your ongoing compassion and empathy. Every gesture, big or small, helps to honour Angela’s legacy and support her family in their time of need.
