Lucy Katherine Partington (4 March 1952 – some time between 28 December 1973 and 2 January 1974) was a British murder victim. She was born in St Albans, the third child of Roger and Margaret (Bardwell) Partington. On the night of 27 December 1973, during her final year of reading English Literature at Exeter University, she was abducted by serial killers Fred and Rosemary West. Her precise date of death can never be known. However, at twenty-five past midnight on 3 January 1974 Fred West admitted himself into the casualty unit at Gloucester Royal hospital with a serious laceration of his right-hand that required several stitches, leading to speculation that she could have been kept alive and tortured for several days in the cellar of the Wests' home in Cromwell Street before finally being murdered. Whatever the truth, her remains were discovered there on 6 March 1994 alongside the knife Fred West used to dismember them.
