Bernadette Walker murder - risk factors

[1983mum]

Hi
Reading about the callous murder of Bernadette Walker after she told mum about sexual abuse and wasn't beloved ..

Wondering how family were allowed to kind of continue sounds so dysfunctional. 10'kids inc newborn, in a 5 bed council flat

First baby (so no 11) went into care so was on the radar

Neither mum nor step dad ever worked. Step dad just dossing around at college

Surely would have been emotional
And physical neglect that was obvious and SS already had on the radar?

Cambs social services used to be pretty good

I’m just reading about this now.

How the fuck did he manage to kill her and hide the body in that space of time? In the middle of the day? Her “Mum” definitely helped him.

Yeah, I'm also just reading about this now. Bloody awful.

Yeh @GetTaeFuck I don't get that either
It was planned while Bea was away wasn't it

Maybe some kind
Of agricultural machinery was involved in Cowbitt but surely
Police looked into farms
Near his location on mobile and his connections

I'm from
The area and although outside p'bro is rural, roads are busy and would be lots of people around On a Saturday morning in July

Must be others in involved

I'm
Wondering if his parents (where bea was) we're in on it too

Read an article where the step grandma said bea kept
Saying 'he did it, he did it' - seemed
Oddly uncompassionate

There's an update as they've been sentenced. She's still not been found. RIP Bea.
