Towyn: Man in court charged with sister's murder
Teen, 19, in court charged with killing girl, 15, at caravan holiday park
One of the press reports describes the accused person as using a motorized wheelchair to get around. In the photos I am seeing of today’s court proceedings, he does not appear to use any type of wheelchair/scooter. Wonder why the discrepancy?
Edited to add: it was this article that mentioned the scooter and it is used by his mother, not by him. He is described as having “learning difficulties.” Teenager, 19, accused of murdering 15-year-old girl at caravan site | Daily Mail Online
Also surprised to read that, after the parents of the accused and the victim split up 2 years ago, the deceased went to live with her mother, while the accused went to live with the father, but was subsequently placed with his grandparents instead. Perhaps the dad wasn’t able to care for his son due to physical/mental health issues?
The Sun describes the scene of the crime as “a bloodbath” so I am really wondering what transpired here. It was a stabbing inside a caravan, but what prompted it? Sadly, this is just another case where a deranged older brother murders his younger sister. Layne Mays, Stephanie Panaigua, and several others come to mind. May they all get justice!
Also, this is a “stupid American” question, but is a “caravan holiday park” in the U.K. the same thing as an RV park here in the States? These are places where people can park their RVs and motor homes, and usually have access to some amenities like a swimming pool, kids’ playground, tennis or basketball courts, etc.
