Relatives of Julie Pearson want the world to see a picture of her, lying in her coffin, her face badly marked, cut and bruised.
The expat worker had been beaten by her boyfriend but the Israeli post-mortem found the 38-year-old died of natural causes.
The cause of death has been listed as internal bleeding but pathologists insist it was “spontaneous”, implying it was not caused by her injuries but failing to give any other reason.
The family were only informed of the result two weeks ago, almost five months after Julie’s death in the Red Sea resort of Eilat.
And they have claimed Israeli police have not properly investigated an assault on Julie by her ex-boyfriend Amjad Hatib.
Yesterday, a leading forensic pathologist said the family are right to question the findings in Israel.
Julie’s grieving mother Margaret, 62, from Kinross , told the Sunday Mail seeing Julie’s injuries after her death piled agony on their heartache, adding: “We did not want anyone to see Julie like this.
“But we feel we have no other choice but to let the world see the injuries my daughter sustained as we try to get to the truth of how Julie died.
“I haven’t been able to rest since seeing what had been done to her. The black bruises to her face and body were horrific.
“There is no way she died from natural causes.”
“This is not over. We will not allow it to be over until we have the answers we need.”
Prime Minister David Cameron and MP Hannah Bardell have both pledged to support Julie’s family.
