Sarah Everard

Alice Ruggles
Idaho 4 murders
India Chipchase

April Jones.

They pulled down the house where they think she was murdered.
It was the finding of bone fragments in the fireplace that really got to me.
Poor, poor child.

It’s Sarah Everard for me too. I just think of the sheer terror she must have felt when she realised what was happening when she was handcuffed in the police car. Horrendous crime.

Claudia Lawrence. The police think someone out there knows what happened to her and they don’t say stuff like that without a reason. They need to speak up.

James bulgar shocked me to the core

It was so sad, his mum Winnie never lost hope. How cruel she never had that closure

Alesha mcphail. Her killer was only 16. He said when he saw her he thought non stop about killing her.

I honestly think that some people get inluenced by negative energies/demons.

James Bulger
Sarah Everard
Bebe, Elsie and Alice

Abigail Witchalls I think about her v often, although her case was in the news many years ago now.
Arthur Labanjo Hughes

No it doesn’t.

The fact that there are a lot of repeats highlights how rare these type of events are. If they wee common you’d get a much wider range of responses.

the victim of nicholas crilley in bisbane. she is still alive so anonymous but she went through such an awful ordeal that i think of her sometimes and hope she is doing okay.

Victoria Climbie and Arthur Labinjo- Hughes.

I agree with many on here and there are a lot I hadn’t heard of. The mentions of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes reminded me of Logan Mwangi.

Or worse. Some nutter who wants to be the next big "notorious killer" and wants to know what has been the most memorable..........

Well I think many of us talk about the famous cases as it is more difficult to talk about people that we actually knew.

I went to primary school and was friends with a girl who was murdered by her male neighbour when she was 12.

I dont think about it because i block it out as its too painful.

It is very prevalent

Most mentioned above including the children. Daniel Pelka sticks in my mind a lot.
When I was young (1981), a girl a similar age (5yrs) was murdered by someone who lived nearby. I lived not too far away but didn’t know her. Her body was found in his attic. My mum brought me to her funeral. I remember missing school because of it and reflecting now, I think my mother didn’t want to go alone. I still remember her 44 yrs later.

Charlene Downes and Maddie Mccann

Maybe its someone who is dark and twisted themselves

Anneli Alderton and the other girls killed by the Suffolk Strangler. I worked with Anneli’s brother.

Susan Maxwell. She and 2 other wee girls killed by serial killer van driver. I think it was later discovered he'd killed another girl in Nortthetn Ireland.

James Bulger. My daughter was the same age.
I remember being quite young when Lesley Whittle was murdered and not fully realising how she'd died
Bibaa and Nicole. How awful to be having such a lovely time celebrating a birthday and there's some maniac out in the middle of the night who decides he needs to kill people.

I think some pervert started this thread.

Sarah Everard

The two students Grace and Barnaby and caretaker Ian Coates killed in Nottingham two years ago. My son was at UON at the time. Still upsets me if I think about it.

This little boy has haunted me, I was so furious and distressed by it. So many missed opportunities to save him. The police even threatened to arrest the family for breaking covid rules if they attempted to go to the house. I even wrote to the Children's Commissioner, I was so incandescent with rage.
