Holly Wells & Jessica Chapman R.I.P
Posted on 2002-08-21
Sorry peeps but I haven't done much today.
Got up around 11:00am and watched kids t.v for a bit (their programmes are always so much better than the adults when schools break up for summer)
Mum got in from work around 2:00pm ish. She works part-time for a charity. The charity itself trys to raise money for disabled children by selling raffle tickets, doing fund raising events such as the heartbeat hike and charity balls. Mums worked there for nearly 5 years and she loves it.
Today when she got home we were discussing the biggest news story in England at the moment. Two 10 year old girls were abducted about 2 weeks ago - their bodies were found at the weekend.
So far the police have charged Ian Huntley with the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. Detectives have also revealed that the 28yr old school caretaker has been detained under The Mental Health Act 1983 and is currently beng held at a high security hospital in Nottinghamshire.
Huntleys girlfriend, Maxine Carr, aged 25 was charged last night with conspiricy to pervert the course of justice, but more serious charges could follow.
Specialists now have 28 days to ascertain whether Huntley is mentally fit to stand trial.
The case is due to come before Peterborough Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning, but Huntley may not appear in person.
Over the last three years there have been many kidnappings and killings of young children. First there was Sarah Payne, next Milly Dowler (who hasn't been found yet) and now Holly and Jessica. I hope that the murderers are brought to justice and get what they deserve. None of these children deserved to die, and my heart goes out to the families at this sad time.
On a lighter note I went round to Mr B's flat tonight, he cooked me dinner - nothing spectacular, just pie and chips but it was the thought that counted. I feel totally shattered now though, not sleeping properly is catching up with me.
I will tell you more about Mr B, (my boyfriend), in another entry, but for now I need to get some sleep.
Goodnight All.
