Ever had a news story stay with you?

[SydneyFrexkle]

Just that?

A murder happened in the street I walk on every day. A really sad story.

It happened before I was even born.

I think we've only just had this one

Oh well I’m not on here comstantly so I wouldn’t have a clue unfortunately

No one is pressured to comment

The Ipswich murders. I lived nearby when it was happening and I watched Paula Clennell interviewed about it live on the local news about why she was still out on the streets before she too was killed, so sad and always stayed with me.

Jamie bulger. Will stay with me forever.

The murder of James Bulger. My younger sister was around the same age and it happened while we were on holiday during half term in the Norfolk Broads. I remember seeing a news report on it and my Dad commenting on how it made his blood run cold. Will never forget it.

Holly and Jessica. Still think about those poor girls.

1978 ish. I used to read my dads newspaper every night. A little boy in australia fell down a narrow well. He died before he was dug out several days later.

Still upsets me. The poor lad.

Dunblane - I am a bit of a news hound but caught something about it briefly and turned the news off until DP came home I can remember saying to him "something has happened in Scotland and I don't know if I want to see the news today" Of course I eventually saw the news and it was every bit horrific as I thought it would be. My eldest niece was starting school the following September and I remember her mum and dad had to go to an extra intro meeting about how they were going to change / add to security at the school it all just seemed to awful.
The other one was the blinding of PC Rathbone and his subsequent death I shed tears for him I remember him saying how lonely it was in his darkness, that has stayed with me ever since. The complete horror of what he went through just terrible terrible waste

The murder of a prostitue many years ago. I know who the killer is but no proof. It haunts me.

For me it was Holly &Jessica and Madeline.
All of those girls are in my thoughts

Kriss Donald, a 15 year old boy kidnapped, tortured and murdered by a gang in Glasgow. Poor laddie was nothing to do with anything and they did it for kicks.

Holly and Jessica for me too. I was the same age as them and it felt like their faces were everywhere the year that it happened.

Sophie Hook. Simply horrendous. I've never forgotten her.

I live relatively near to Soham and sonetimes have to visit there for work so that news story is often in my mind.

The mute 4 yr old who starved to death after his mum died from an epileptic fit in Hackney. His name was Chadrack which has stuck with me.

lilmishap I remember him, it was horrible. Nobody noticed, not a soul. Poor wee boy.

Maddie. My DD was the same age and it made my blood run cold. And James Bulger, such evil in 2 young boys.

Much more recently the South African student Hannah Cornelius, I know that will stay with me forever, what that poor poor girl went through. Utterly heartbreaking to read.
