I assume that the reasons behind this will complex. Please keep us updated if you find out more.

Seems she’s been charged.

Thanks for posting this. Obviously she cannot be named because of her age. So she has been charged and going to court. Interesting no mention what’s happening to the other person who was accused of helping her in the Sussex Facebook post I saw.

Well, do we know that the 21 year old was aiding the 14 year old?

I interpreted "aiding an offender" and someone recruiting a 14 year old girl to meet with a 24 year old....

Thanks, laughing. I’ll add it to the UK index now so the others pick it up. Not that we’re likely to hear much more about the case now, with the girl charged being a minor.

Thank you so much, Cags!

Waving at you across that pond!

Wow! It says this man worked with the elderly so these two couldn't have been his clients.


Stabbed and left to die in the street?


Let's have the 21 year old dudes name. RIP Mr. Hendricks. Something will be revealed.

 

[LadyL]

maybe they were trying to rob him?

Sounds complicated, imo.

''Detective Chief Inspector Andy Wolstenholme from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team described the case as "particularly challenging" and made a plea to people not to speculate on any aspects of the murder investigation.''

He said: “The circumstances of this case are particularly challenging for everyone involved and will continue to be difficult as people come to terms with significant loss and grief.

"It is imperative that the Criminal Justice system is allowed to operate effectively in order to support all involved in this case and, therefore, I would make a personal plea to people to not speculate on social media on the circumstances of the case or the identity or motivation of the defendant, whose name may not legally be published."

Looks like this victim tried to try a decorating business
.

Aswan Bird Decorator. They did all kinds of work like drywall etc. Unfortunately it didn't work out.

I thought robbery too LadyL, but questioned why not threaten him with a gun? Duh. This is England.

14 year old girl? Awful angry stabbing someone like that.

They say we’re not to speculate but we’re on WS so....
Why was she so angry at the victim?
What happened in this little girls life to make her so violent and full of rage? Not saying it’s him even but when a child displays this kind of behaviour and is in contact with an older man (the 21 year old)...there’s gotta be a story there. There’s gotta be some trauma of some kind. Who hurt her? Is this why the case is so complex?

IIRC, the deceased worked as a "carer." Did he care for the accused, or a member of her family???

A police update from 14th July 2021 - I haven't been able to find a record of sentencing yet -



A 15-year-old girl from Crawley, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Nimroy Hendricks in the town last October.

The girl appeared at Bristol Crown Court on Monday (12 July) charged with murder. The Crown accepted her plea to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

As a result of expert medical opinion, it was accepted that at the time of the offence, the defendant was suffering from a significant abnormality of mind.

She was remanded for pre-sentencing reports and the case was adjourned for sentencing to a date yet to be set by the court.

Mr Hendricks, 24, sadly died in Russell Way, Crawley, after being found with a stab wound to the chest on 27 October last year.

Nimroy, who was known as Nim by family and friends, and the girl were known to each other.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Wolstenholme from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team said: “The death of Nimroy Hendricks is heart-breaking, and the whole circumstances of this case are both complex and tragic; our thoughts are with everyone affected by the loss of Nim.

"The acceptance of the plea for manslaughter was taken in light of all the available evidence from expert witnesses, and only after painstaking examination and discussion between Counsel, the CPS, the Police and Nim’s family."

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Wolstenholme from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team said: [...] 'I know that Nim's family will never get over the devastating loss of a man who was so peaceful, selfless and caring. He was a talented musician who loved life, and whose death was the tragic result of a knife taken from home, in hands and a location where it never should have been." [...]
