I'm in awe of Mina Smallman. She's conducted herself with such dignity despite the police handling of the case adding insult to injury.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 29/10/2021 11:17

Like all the women and mothers on here I feel for Mina Smallman. Such a terrible crime.
Let's hope that all those police officers who made her experience so much worse by their vile disrespectful behaviour also receive significant punishment.

This.

Sweet dreams Nicole and Bibaa Flowers

Glad to see he's been jailed. May he rot in there.

The poor family. I cant possibly imagine how they must feel. Flowers

RIP Bibaa and Nicole Flowers

I heard Mina in womens hour, she is so eloquent. My thoughts are with Mina and all those who loved Bibaa and Nicole.

TheBeardedVulture · 29/10/2021 08:12

The pictures of the girls at the party make me so sad- they both looked so happy and like they were having a wonderful time.

RIP Bibaa and Nicole.

Not enough time for the perpetrator ,
Total sympathy for their family and disgust for what happened after their deaths . Unspeakable horror.

BrandineDelRoy · 28/10/2021 22:46

I'm disappointed he'll probably get out with decades yet to live free.

TheVanguardSix · 28/10/2021 22:43

Flowers Their mother has worked tirelessly and with such fierce mother's love to firewall their dignity and ensure their justice.

Thefartingsofaofdenmarkstreet · 28/10/2021 22:31

Their mum has been so dignified throughout, but her grief and rage are palpable.

RIP Nicole and Bibaa.

Rest in peace Nicole and Bibaa, we say your names.
And to Mina, I admire your strength and courage, I have heard you speak so beautifully over the months since your daughters were taken. You are a remarkable woman. I am thinking of you and your family tonight.

I have no words for the pos perpetrator, none, and not many for the woeful police response and the aftermath.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 28/10/2021 22:09

Rest in peace Bibaa and Nicole.

What Mina and the rest of their family have been put through is beyond comprehension.

LessthanJurassicPark · 28/10/2021 21:49

What an amazing woman

MassiveHoard · 28/10/2021 21:39

Heart breaking. By which I'm referring to their horrific deaths, and also unfortunately to the response of the police and the British press. I've no idea how, as a mother, you carry on after that.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 28/10/2021 21:30

Like all the women and mothers on here I feel for Mina Smallman. Such a terrible crime.
Let's hope that all those police officers who made her experience so much worse by their vile disrespectful behaviour also receive significant punishment.

littlbrowndog · 28/10/2021 21:15

Can’t tell you how it made me feel. To have your daughters murdered

So sad. For their mum and all their family

Such a loss just awful

ArabellaScott · 28/10/2021 21:03

I don't know his name, don't care to. Just wanted to post in tribute to their families. Thoughts with them tonight.

So sad. And so badly handled by the police. I hope Nicole and Bibaa's family finds peace.

InspiralCoalescenceRingdown · 28/10/2021 20:08

No words Flowers

IHateCoronavirus · 28/10/2021 19:57

Agree, the way Nicole and Biba’s mother spoke was inspirational. Breathtaking courage.

MonsignorMirth · 28/10/2021 19:56

Absolutely sickening that this happened. Rest in peace Nicole and Bibaa.

sashagabadon · 28/10/2021 19:54

Good he got a life sentence and the family seemed pleased with the sentence too. Their mother spoke with such bravery, I don’t know how she can deal with the injustice of it all.
RIP to Bibaa and Nicole

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 28/10/2021 19:51

I've never forgotten the footage of those beautiful, blithe young women, dancing in the park, minutes before this horror.

I wish peace of heart to their families.

Siablue · 28/10/2021 19:50

This is so heartbreaking.

Mina Smallman has so much courage snd has acted with such dignity throughout the many failings of the way the police handled the case.

teawamutu · 28/10/2021 19:48

Wishing Bibaa and Nicole's family some measure of peace and as much healing as is humanly possible.

Let the killer's name be forgotten.

@FloralBunting

Can I just say thank you so much for putting their names in the title, not his. Their mother spoke with such dignity. I was sobbing.
I felt exactly the same. Their Mother spoke so movingly today. It was incredibly emotional and powerful to hear. I wish her and her family much strength and love.
