On August 4th 2002, 10 year old best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman were murdered by caretaker Ian Huntley. On August 13th, after nearly two weeks of searching the girls burnt remains were discovered in a ditch. The only evidence found at the scene was the burnt remains of Jessica's man united jersey. The killer Ian huntley is now serving a life sentence in jail. Jessica's father Leslie Chapman publicly said that the next time he wants to see Ian Huntley will be in the same place he last saw his daugther, in a coffin.
The 2 girls had attended a barbecue at the Wells's family home. At around 6:15 pm they went out to buy some sweets. On their way back they walked past the rented house of local school caretaker Ian Huntley, in College Close. Huntley saw the girls and asked them to come into his house. He said that his girlfriend, Maxine Carr, was in the house too, but she had in fact gone to visit family in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. Shortly after the girls entered his house, Huntley murdered them.
Huntley's reasons for killing Wells and Chapman may never be known, but minutes before seeing them he had slammed the telephone down on Carr following a furious argument; Huntley had allegedly suspected Carr of cheating on him. The police suspected that Huntley killed the girls in a fit of jealous rage.
This event marks the 8th aniversary of two innocent young girls cut down in there prime by a devil in disguise. Its a day to pay your respects to a tragic tale of when innocence meets evil and to remember the two girls who are gone but never forgotten.
