RIP Lucy

I am surprised that we hadn't heard you were missing until after you had passed. Sending love to your family.

RIP Lucy

I'm glad there's already been an arrest but it's horrible that a 13 year old has died under these circumstances. Condolences to Lucy's family and friends.

Family friend 'SN' arrested, named in media article but not sure it counts as 'main stream' so I'll keep it zipped for now.

Poor girl. This article names the arrested man and apparently he lived with her and her mum...

i hate reading ''sexual activity with a child''. this possibly means the suspect probably groomed lucy and maybe convinced her to meet up with him. Perhaps social media and mobile communications have been found suggesting some sort of ''relationship''. I actually felt sick typing that but thats what im thinking the explanation for that sexual activity with a child instead of rape/sexual assault. Very sad that children cannot be children these days.

I beleive, Stephen had been homeless and Lucy's mother had offered him a place to stay.

So heartbreaking that the fact she was missing wasn’t even publicised. They obviously knew what had happened already. Saying all the things I think would get me deleted. Rest in peace Lucy.

So sad to hear about Lucy, shocked. She was found wearing a jacket made by the band Falling in Reverse which struck a cord with me because back in my emo phase, I listened to them nonstop

Here's an article from BBC News showing images of the clothes Lucy was wearing and says they're still looking for the murder weapon.

*modsnip*

That frustrates me to no end, to hear that.

It is a nice, compassionate gesture to offer a homeless man a place to stay.

BUT NOT WHEN YOU HAVE A 13YR OLD THERE TOO....Sorry, but mother's don't have the luxury of doing a generous thing for a homeless man, when their young child sleep there too. ughhhh....

This!

Did she know this man prior to just knowing him as homeless? It seems odd she would just offer a home to a homeless man? Maybe he was a friend of the family or something. Looking at his Facebook he appears to have children so wonder if he had split with a gf and he was staying there. Still though I wouldn't invite anyone to live with me and my children who I didn't know!

Man bailed

Assume this is the same man... bailed just before,, then charged

[claralara]

Lots of rumours circulating on FB about the suspect. Very sad, poor Lucy.

RE: posts above - he was bailed and then charged for failing to provide the codes to his electronic devices, so they didn't have evidence enough to charge him for murder but they obviously seem to believe he's guilty.

'The grieving mother of a schoolgirl found stabbed to death has called for an end to threats of violence allegedly made towards relatives of a man arrested on suspicion of her murder.'

"Making threats of violence to them will not bring my angel back."


Officers revealed on Sunday that she had died of stab wounds.

"We cannot say at this stage whether this is a knife, scissors or other bladed implement," the force said in a statement.

"Even if someone has put an item in a bin, we will try and recover it."

Police have also released images of the type of clothing she was wearing at the time of her disappearance.

They include a distinctive black jacket with white sleeves, featuring branding for the band Falling In Reverse on the front and the words "RADKE 01" emblazoned on the back in red.
