I'm so confused. I wonder why nobody went up to the park to check before officially reporting them missing. And why the police didn't go and look there upon receiving the report. I suppose maybe the family didn't know they'd gone there or who they'd been with.

Maybe the bodies were more hidden than it looks from the forensic tent photo.

It's so open and must be busy with dog walkers and families despite lockdown! I can't believe nobody else saw them there on a Saturday. So bizarre.

It was a torrential downpour on Saturday in London so there would not have been many families walking in the park which might explain why no one found them until Sunday. However, missing posters with the girls pictures were circulated by friends on Saturday listing that the last place they were seen on Friday was Fryent Park which only makes me wonder why no one searched the park earlier looking for them

How terrible. Their poor mother.

And people walked by and thought they were rough sleepers? Wow. Were they arranged to look that way? "Stabbed repeatedly" sounds violent and messy. And both ladies look fit and healthy, so how were they overcome so quickly? More than one perp? A bunch?

I hope this gets solved fast. Hopeful for some CCTV from the area.

I also wonder if it was an attack from somebody they knew, which would explain why they were overcome because they were comfortable? And usually, an attack like this is full of emotion.

But they were stumbled upon by a passerby, which means still exposed enough? I do wonder why the park wasn't their first place to check as well.

The photo shows the tents quite a few meters apart which is why the passerby story stumbling on them on Saturday doesn’t make too much sense to me. Also I agree it’s quite an open field and it doesn’t look like an attempt was made to conceal the crime scene either.

Have you seen that smaller rectangular patch just to the east of the two trees? Could they have been in there and they're just taping off a huge area all round? I know it doesn't look like that from that one photo, but it would make more sense as they'd be more screened. Is that where people camped? Could someone have attacked them and dragged them in there?

It was not clear they were injured or anything. She said she just saw the two girls lying on the floor and there was a backpack next to them.

so the woman who sighted them was close enough to see the backpack but did not notice anything else ?

Edited until Cags checks source

 

[CoverMeCagney]

That doesnt sound right at all, does it?

Nope. I've deleted the link until it's confirmed (or not) elsewhere. Alyce can you amend your post accordingly pretty please?

 

[RobinCAL]

I still can't get my head around the woman who saw them but also having two victims, I mean that must of been risk.

Edited same reason

Hi all again .. after a while. Hope you’re all well.
This one has got me perplexed, not sure what you Super sleuth’s have found but I’m sure it’s more than worth while. Even on lockdown I’ve noticed (as a dog walker) our local park/fields have been much busier - even in the rain.

Following this thread, how sad ! I'm wondering if this was a random attack, or something more personal. Until more is known, that park should be avoided.

 

[madfrank]

Amazing, in a bad, bad way. Curious the lack of info thus far.

 

[Mellowmelly]

Who would have known they were there alone and vulnerable at that time of night ? I cant imagine there would be anyone there at that time. Makes me think the killer knew the victims.

 

[Mellowmelly]

Also, I presume the tents in the pictures are where the bodies were found, and they were not right next to each other. I wonder if one of the sisters saw the other being attacked and tried to run away.

 

[madfrank]

Hope it wasn't a murder-suicide. But whatever it was, I wish it weren't, of course.

That's possible but what in the world would be the motive ?
