Thread 'UK - Aria Thorpe, age 9, murdered by teenager, Weston-Super-Mare Dec 15, 2025'

Wednesday at 12:01 PM

A 15-year-old boy has appeared in court charged with the murder of a nine-year-old girl.

Police earlier named the victim as Aria Thorpe, who was found dead at a house in Lime Close, Weston-super-Mare, on Monday evening.

The teenage accused, who cannot be named due to his age, appeared at Bristol Magistrates' Court on Wednesday and spoke only to confirm his name and address.

Aria Thorpe's family say the nine-year-old was "bubbly" and loved country music.

I think the thread for when they originally disappeared from Suffolk / Colchester and were subsequently found has gone, but a sad update today:

Daughter charged with murder after mother found dead in east London

Lorna Nightingale, 70, disappeared from Lowestoft in Suffolk in February

Thread 'UK - Elvis Palla found dead in flat, Edinburgh, 13 December 2025 *Arrest*'

Man found dead in Edinburgh flat

This was a few days ago.

They've arrested and charged a chap called Christos Nikiforidis for murder. The victim and the suspect are both Greek, as far as I can tell.

I have some loose connections to the Greek community in Edinburgh and I can't quite shake the feeling that the victim seems somewhat familiar, sadly.

Does anyone have any further info, especially if you're from the area? Very curious to see a pic of the accused but there seems to be nothing out there.
