Murder Girl (Lilah Love)

Product Information

They had invited Payton over for a sleepover and originally planned to stab her that night - but decided they couldn't go through with it. So, the following day, they grabbed a kitchen knife from home and set off for the woods. Mehak Sharma, 19, was pronounced dead at the scene in Ash Tree Way on Sunday, October 29 after she was stabbed. The DNA profile of the suspected killer is put on the national database for the first time, but there is no match.

The funeral services for Wells and Chapman were held on consecutive days in September 2002. Both services were held at St Andrew's parish church and officiated by Tim Alban Jones, and the girls are buried in graves near to each other in Soham's Fordham Road Cemetery, following ceremonies attended by only family and close friends. [84] At the request of both families, the media refrained from reporting on either service. [85] [86] Police investigation [ edit ]Minutes after the convictions, the parents of both girls granted an interview to the media. Discussing Huntley's mindset, Leslie Chapman opined: "I think he was a time bomb waiting to go off and both our girls were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hope the next time I see him, it will be like we saw our daughters—and it will be in a coffin." [154] Sentencing [ edit ] Having discovered the children's clothes at Soham Village College, [82] police decided to arrest Huntley and Carr. Both were arrested on suspicion of abduction and murder at 4:30a.m. on 17 August. [105] Investigators had stated on 7 August they strongly believed the children had been abducted, [39] and announced their strong suspicions that both girls had been murdered on this date. [106] [107]

In 2017, Weier pleaded guilty to being a party to attempted second-degree homicide. A jury then found her "not guilty by mental disease or defect".The final criminal allegation against Huntley prior to the Soham murders dates from July 1999. In this instance, a woman was raped and Huntley–by this stage suspected by police as being a serial sex offender–was interviewed. Huntley supplied a DNA sample to assist in their enquiries, with Carr also providing an alibi to support his claims of innocence. The victim of this assault later said that Huntley had not been the perpetrator of her assault. (This case differs from the others as the victim had not identified or named Huntley as being her assailant.) [176] [n 12] Huntley was convicted of the murder of both girls on 17 December 2003 and sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment, with the High Court later imposing a minimum term of 40 years. His girlfriend, Maxine Ann Carr—the girls' teaching assistant—had knowingly provided Huntley with a false alibi. [3] She received a three-and-a-half year prison sentence for conspiring with Huntley to pervert the course of justice. [4]

In July 2002, Carr applied for a vacant full-time teaching assistant position at St Andrew's Primary School. She found out on 23 July that her application had been unsuccessful. [207] One of the children to express dismay at this decision was Wells, who having broken down in tears upon learning Carr's application for the teaching position had been unsuccessful, presented her with a hand-drawn card, [208] depicting a smiling face, in which she stated: "I'll miss you a lot. Thank you! C ya around school! Miss ya! Luv Holly." [209] In a reference to Huntley's claims both girls' deaths had been accidental, Latham stated that "only one person knows what happened" after the friends entered his home. [6] He stressed that the cause of death was murder, adding: "Ten-year-old girls don't just drop dead." [82] In reference to Carr's attempts to pervert the course of justice, Latham stated that "as surely as night follows day" the two had conspired to concoct a false alibi to divert suspicion from Huntley, [82] but warned the jury Carr could only be convicted of assisting an offender if they believed she had known Huntley had murdered the girls, adding that her motive for providing lies to police with reference to the charge of perverting the course of justice was irrelevant. [82]

Police have arrested the suspected killer of Ashley Dale, a 28-year-old council worker shot outside her home in Old Swan on Sunday, in what was thought to be a case of mistaken identity. By 20 August, investigators had established sufficient physical evidence from Huntley's home, vehicle and Soham Village College to charge him with two counts of murder. [80] He was charged with these offences while detained for observation at Rampton Secure Hospital in Nottinghamshire, and all preliminary hearings against him were postponed until the conclusion of his mental health assessment. [113] Carr was also charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice on this date. [114] [n 11] She was further charged with two counts of assisting an offender on 17 January 2003.

When three young girls went playing in the woods on a summers day in Wisconsin no one thought anything was out of the ordinary. Until one of the 12-year-old girls was found by a cyclist covered in blood and stab wounds. The senseless murder of a 15-year-old girl on her way to school is impossible to comprehend,” he said. “It was moving and humbling to meet many members of the exceptional Croydon community who have come together in support of a family now dealing with the most unimaginable grief.”
