Common card · No. 393551

Lucy Katherine Partington (4 March 1952 – c. 2 January 1974) was a British woman from Gretton, Gloucestershire, who was abducted and murdered by serial killers Frederick and Rosemary West on the evening of 27 December 1973. Partington was either lured or forced from a bus stop along the A435 trunk road into the Wests' vehicle and driven to their home in Cromwell Street, Gloucester. She was restrained in the basement of the property and subjected to various acts of rape and sadomasochism before she was murdered by either asphyxiation or strangulation. Circumstantial evidence indicates she may have been held captive for up to six days before her murder. Partington's extensively dismembered body was discovered buried in an alcove of the Wests' cellar on 6 March 1994. She was later buried in the grounds of Hailes Chapelyard in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
