Horrible for her family and community

[Kazanne]

Not finding her will be the worst outcome of this,her family will be in deep dispair right now,I feel so sad for them.

[Shaun]

oh that's horrible we were talking about this last night, about how it was all unresolved... sad turn of events since then. R.I.P.

[Marc]

I just hope he tells the police where her body is

[Josy]

Very sad news

[Kate!]

My heart obviously goes out to April's family but I also feel so sad for the innocent children of Bridger who will have to live their lives with the knowledge of what he did to their friend and playmate.

[Ninastar]

This is just terrible.

Her poor family. I'm hoping that her body is found and her family can have a proper funeral.

[King Gizzard]

Hmmm that's why they were very confident about letting the press name him then

that coupled with him not saying anything for ages during questioning

I still think people are getting a bit ahead of themselves deciding he is guilty just because hes been charged.

I really feel for the parents. I'm still hoping she turns up alive and well somewhere...as even if it was Bridger, the fact that april said she knew 'them' stands out for me, so in my head she could still be with the second person.

I agree.

And I really hate how every time there's a little sniff of murder Twitter and the rest of the internet goes wild with calls to bring back the death penalty and all sorts of graphic descriptions of how they'd kill them. Very disturbing.

[Munchkins]

They should be left in a room starving, being given gruel and water each day and thats all..
Capital punishment is an easy way out

Bless little April, such a tragic tragic case

[Vicky.]

That said, surely theres some evidence to point to her being dead...as its a bit odd that they presume shes dead after less than a week...when they presume Maddy mcCann is alive after 5 years or so.

[MTVN]

It seems strange to me that they can have enough evidence to say he's murdered her when they haven't found a body and it sounds like he hasn't confessed?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

some people say 'them' meaning a single person though

i do that sometimes

[MTVN]

Yeah I do too

[King Gizzard]

Oh god...saying that my twitter has gone mental with capital punishment ****e. Why don't people understand most murderers/other serious crimes would happily take that instead of being kicked crapless everyday?

Indeed, those people should concentrate on tweeting messages of support for April's family.

This.

God only knows what they are going through right now. Thoughts are with them.

Very True

[Smithy]

Wonder what the motive was

[thesheriff443]

it does not take a lot for someone to be charged with murder,they can go all the way to trial and still get proved not guilty.
if you look at the case of gill dando,barry george was convicted of her murder with the only forensic evidence being a spec of gun shot residue in a coat pocket.

[Cherie]

Im still having trouble getting my head around him allegedly attending the same parents evening as Aprils parents and then driving by and abducting her in front of another child seeminly on a whim as under normal circumstances she would not have been outside as she was given extra time to play out due to her glowing report...or so it has been reported in the press.

I feel so sad about this case for the added fact that little girl had enough to contend with with her Cerebal Palsy, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and being on tablets daily, but getting on with her little life only for it to be snatched away so cruely. It makes this case extra upsetting as she already suffered pain on a daily basis. Poor little sweetheart
