There was a lad who was in a few of my classes at school who went onto shoot someone dead in a gang related fight in an entirely different part of the country. He was quite scruffy (I remember his trainers most as he seemed to be exempt from wearing shoes like everyone else, they looked bigger than his feet and were stretched, they would scrape across the floor with all the rubber sole hanging off and laces undone) but very bad mind, he liked groping the girls, was small but heavy handed and would laugh about hurting people or breaking their possessions. He was a bit of a nuisance and rumour had it he had raped a woman not so long before. There are a few who went to my school who were involved in gang fayre but he is the only one who springs to mind who actually killed.
A girl I grew up with and was particularly close to as a teenager has not long gone down for attempted murder. She stabbed another woman with intent to kill her, the poor girl very nearly died, she was in a coma for a couple of months and had to have her leg amputated. She wasn't a particularly nice girl growing up, she was a compulsive liar and people would often refer to her as "Liar Liar". If you were sharing a story she would always come up with something more extravagant or amazing to trump yours but people rarely paid attention to what she said as she was always full of tit. She seemed unable to control her jealousy of other girls too, it was always very very obvious, she may as well have written it on her forehead it stuck out so much. I knew she was always a bit "off" but never in a million years thought she would try to kill somebody.
I mentioned this in another thread but I lived in a temporary council flat in Catfords Milton Towers, South London, my bedroom window ran parallel to the the murderer of Rochelle Holness and it sent shivers down my spine. What happened to her probably would have made the headlines but Sally Ann Bowman was also murdered later that week and her case dominated the headlines at the time. Rochelle Holness was only 15, it is believed her killer took her into his home where he dismembered her and dumped her body in black bin sacks in a trolley near the communal bins.
Rochelle Holness' killer.
