A respected choirmaster is convicted of s*xually abusing a former pupil – who is thought to have killed herself during the trial. The woman at the centre of s*x abuse allegations involving top choirmaster Michael Brewer killed herself during the trial, it has been revealed.
The body of violin teacher Frances Andrade, 48, was found at her home less than a week after she gave evidence against Michael Brewer at Manchester Crown Court. Brewer, a former National Youth Choir music director, and his ex-wife were found guilty on five counts of indecently assaulting the former music student more than 30 years ago.
