After Jolanta’s body parts were found on Arbroath beach, she raised money to take her remains to Lithuania.

“There are rumours that I have dipped into the money,” Ms Smith said.

“I’ve never handled the finances for the Marek Appeal or for the Jolanta fund.

“The financial side of everything has got two signatories. I am not even a signatory.

“OK, I live in a big house, but I had that before I started fundraising. I don’t even own a car. I shop at the Co-op. I am certainly not living the high life.

“I’m going to stop all my fundraising. The only thing I’m going to do is help my local church distribute food packs to migrant workers.

“I have dipped into my own pocket for these appeals, printing out leaflets and sending letters.

“When I was entertaining the Lithuanian ambassador I didn’t even dip into the fund to buy him a sausage roll.”

Sue says an adult shouted at her 11-year-old son in the street at the weekend, and claims he was assaulted at school by a group of older children.

Eggs have been thrown at her house and she says people have shouted abuse at her and at migrant workers.

“It’s a very small minority. I’m not tarring everyone with the same brush. It’s very sad that it’s come to this,” she said.

“The other week I was in a pub with two Russians. I had managed to get them a Russian newspaper.

“A young lad, who was drunk, came up to them and started swearing at them.

“Another time, a lady stopped me in the bank and said I must have raised money for Marek because the guy who killed him was taking drugs in my house.

“I had only met Merek once and he was never in my house. I didn’t know the person who killed him at all.

“I have had enough. What has the world come to when you can’t help somebody without people thinking you are doing it for your own gain?”

Sue said the Lithuanian Embassy in London has control of the fund for Jolanta.
