Campaigner for Cohens dies
PA Auckland Mrs Patricia Bulman, who befriended the condemned heroin trafficker, Lorraine Cohen and her son, Aaron, has died in Middlemore Hospital. Mrs Bulman went into hospital on Thursday night complaining of abdominal pains. She is thought to have died on Saturday of a perforated bowel. Mrs Bulman, once a missionary in Africa, became known when she organised a national prayer campaign to help
free the convicted heroin trafficker, Andrea Resetar, who had been sentenced to a 33-year term in Thailand. She was in Malaysia for about three weeks during the Cohens’ trial, a family friend said. An enthusiastic member of the Assembly of God, Mrs Bulman always put other people before herself, often visiting prisoners in New Zealand, a friend, Mrs Gwyneth Williams said. She was thought to have been 70.
