Salterton Police were due to exhume the body last night of Belinda Day, a suicide victim who, they say, was the target of violent gang rapes and sex abuse stretching back years.

Ms Day, known as “Binny”, threw herself off the 200ft cliffs of her home town of Budleigh Salterton 22 years ago. Friends described her as a girl who didn’t know how to smile.

Officers plan to take a sample of her DNA to attempt to solve the mystery surrounding her short, unhappy life and tragic death.

Ms Day’s father, brother and even her own son are all convicted paedophiles. Her late father William served nine months in prison for sex offences with a child.

Her charity fundraiser brother, Adrian “Tommy” Dance, is serving a sentence after he admitted raping and sexually abusing young girls. Mr Chalmers said that Dance, now 54, will be questioned about the case..

Her son, Carl Leslie, 27, was jailed last month for 42 offences against children. Leslie, from Horsham, Sussex, was given an indeterminate sentence on the 22nd anniversary of his mother’s suicide.

At midnight Devon and Cornwall police officers from Operation Goodrich, an investigation into sexual abuse in East Devon, planned to dig up Ms Day’s body from her plot at St Peter’s churchyard in Budleigh. Members of her family were to be in attendance.

The area was been cordoned off to allow police to use a digger to lift her coffin out of the earth. She will be re-buried today.

Detective Constable Mike Chalmers, who is in charge of the two-year-long investigation, said: “Binny was sexually abused and violently raped over an extended period. We will do whatever is necessary to bring her abusers to justice.”

Binny was 27 when she killed herself on the 17th anniversary of her father’s death. Friends say that the choice of date was no coincidence. A suicide verdict was recorded at a later inquest.

Police believe the mother of three was raped over a long period which led up to her death.

Mr Chalmers said that Dance, now 54, will be questioned about the case. He was confident that a number of arrests would be made as some suspects have already been identified, he said.

“All potential lines of inquiry have been exhausted, leading to this exhumation,” the detective said.

“An exhumation on consecrated ground in a church graveyard is a unique process and has not previously been conducted in Devon and Cornwall.”

He appealed for anyone who knew Ms Day in the 1970s and 1980s to come forward and contact officers.

Ms Day, one of 11 siblings who survived to adulthood, grew up in Exmouth and moved to Exeter when she married. She was found dead at the bottom of cliffs on March 3, 1989.

Friends say she was a troubled and complex girl with an inner torment. As a five-year-old she was asked why she did not smile, and she replied: “I don’t know what it means.”

She hated her photo being taken and the friend said the happiest she ever saw her was in 1972 when her father died.

One former teacher said she had a death wish — a “destructive fatalism”.

Her brother, of Budleigh Salterton, admitted 15 sexual offences when he appeared at Exeter Crown Court in June last year. Five other charges, which he denied, were dropped. His victims included five girls aged under 16, including one he abducted, in the 1980s and an adult woman in 1979.

He was well-known in the community for voluntary charity work, including helping to raise about £50,000 for children with cancer.
