I knew Harry, he was such a lovely boy, as are his family. I think about them everyday . It’s a shame people can get caught up in such horrific situations. It breaks my heart i truly hope he gets the justice he deservesThe most recent for me is the story of Harry Baker, 17 year old boy who was killed by 6 or 7 men. Stabbed 9 times, stripped naked and left to die in a boating port. Another for me is the death of a 7 year old and his dad about 4 miles down the road from me, they were walking home as a family with mum and daughter from a family party at Christmas time and the dad and son were knocked down by a car. The son was taken to 1 hospital and the dad to another and the wife had to choose who to go with to the hospital, both passed away. I cant drive down that road now without thinking about them.
I remember this. There was loads of dog food in the house too, she just stopped going back to feed it.the story of a woman in her 30s leaving her house with her boxer dog inside and didn't go back for months. The body of the dog was found only because the neighbours reported a smell. The dog would of died over two painful weeks!! it had been so starving all the mop buckets and bowls had been upturned where the dog had been desperately trying to get food and water.
Still knocks me sick to this day!!! Will never forget it!
I think the woman might of been a solicitor too !!
i remember all of these.The bin lorry crash was particularly tragic because of the time of year. I worked in town and I remember getting a phone call from my granny really worried because she knew I liked to wander down on my lunch break. It was such a shame for the families involved!In Glasgow we've had 3 tradegies happen near Christmas time.
One was the police helicopter that crashed into a pub. The Anniversary was on Sunday. We'd been putting Christmas decorations up in the centre I work in and the helicopter passed over my head at 8.30pm when I was waiting for my bus. Quite a few people in Glasgow saw it hit the Clutha. It's so near the river - who knows if the pilot was trying to ditch there to save lives.
A week before Christmas 2010, a guy crashed into 2 students waiting at traffic lights. Both girls died. Turned put he'd had medical issues and hadn't disclosed them. Apparently he'd passed out 6 times before. He never faced trial.
4 years later, a guy driving a bin lorry killed 6 people including a girl and her grandparents. The pictures of her poor mum at their funeral still sticks with me.
Again he had medical issues he didn't disclose and didn't face trial. He'd passed out driving a bus! He was banned from driving on medical grounds and was seen driving his car!
At the enquiry, the other men in the lorry seemed more affected by the crash than the driver was.
Both of these men literally walked away from these crashes without a scratch on them but have left a lifetime of hurt for their victims families.
I remember the Christopher Foster case. Horrific. My first bf was from Shropshire and knew Kirsty (daughter) through school friends.I really need to stop reading these before I go to bed
One that has stuck with me was Christopher Foster. Not far from my hometown. He shot his wife and daughter at home after returning from a friends BBQ. He even killed all their horses and dogs. They lived in a gated mansion and when he shot them he placed a horse box in front of their gated entrance and blew out the tyres so that no one could enter to try and help. He then set the whole place on fire and shot himself. Think it came out afterwards he was in a huge amount of debt so decided they should all die rather than stop having their lavish lifestyle. How anyone could kill their family and pets I just can’t comprehend
God that’s so bizarre! Sounds exactly like my dream. I wonder what it must mean? Mine is always near my childhood home, especially in the field opposite to it.Omg. I have the same dream. Word for word. I've always had it for as long as I can remember, at least once a month and it gets more and more vivid as life goes on. It always happens in a field by my childhood home or a grass verge by a bridge (which I couldn't locate until about a year after moving into my current home, that it dawned upon me, it is indeed very close to where I live).
The Tunisia one stuck with me for a while too. We’d been away in Greece the week before so I was trying to imagine the shocking terror they must have felt while just relaxing on the beach. So awful and that family where they lost 3 generations.The Aberfan disaster.
The murder of a 3 year little boy at the hands of his mother and her partner who I'm ashamed to say, I called my friends at some point in my life. I think about him constantly.
9/11, the tsunami and the Tunisian murders on the beach.
I was in Tunisia the week before. It was my first holiday in 15 years due to being terrified of flying since 9/11. Needless to say I’ve never been away since.The Tunisia one stuck with me for a while too. We’d been away in Greece the week before so I was trying to imagine the shocking terror they must have felt while just relaxing on the beach. So awful and that family where they lost 3 generations.
