FIVE GIRLS found dead today after images of their bodies were posted on their  ‘Our Space’ accounts.

Victims Charlotte Wells (18), Jane Turner (17) and Nicole Margetts (17) were media students at local 6th form Edgbarrow. They were in the woods filming for their A-level project. How they came upon the other two victims, Lydia Cutting (17) and Katie Cox (17), is yet unknown.

The families of Lydia and Katie are desperate to know why the girls where in the woods as they were supposed to be at their friend Sasha’s birthday party.

Stephen Margetts, Nicole’s father, gave us this statement “We just want to know what happened to our daughter”.

The images where posted to the girls accounts, by the murder, from the girls phones between the times of 23:30pm and 2:40am.

Police have told us that they are currently going through the footage on the cameras three of the girls had with them. Having no other leads to go on currently. They have also issued a warning to all the families in the area, urging them to be careful when going out at night.

Driving past the woods  where the girls were murdered you find an incredibly moving scene. Flowers, cards and pictures litter the floor and trees going continuing on as far as the eye can see.

Tonight we will see a ceremony held in memory of the girls. Hundreds of friends and family will be marching from the girls homes and schools to the woods.

Laura Butcherman, Katie’s best friend, told us exactly what tonight means to her. She said “We plan to light candles when we get to the woods, all of us, to show them that we will remember them and that their lights will never go out in our hearts. They may be gone physically but we will ALWAYS love them.”

For the families, all they want is closure. They want to bury the girls and sleep sounder at night knowing that the man who murdered them is behind bars. However until this man is caught the girls must be preserved, unable to  rest in peace.
