Im puzzled by this.
It appears a young girl of 15 was indeed murdered , possibly attacked sexually , and dumped in the sea.
The police said she had 5 bruises when infact she had 50 !
Now i think its a terrible thing .
But at the risk of being attacked.
Can anyone tell me why a 15 year old girl , on her first holiday abroad , well her families first by all accounts with her mother and 8 siblings .
Why was she leaving a beach bar at 4am in the morning to walk home ?
Where was her mum ?

[evedawn]

yeah - my thoughts exactly theland. I am sure at 15 I would've loved (and begged) me mum to let me stay alone in a paradise like that....but would she have let me ? NO WAY!!!!

This mum has failed to protect her daughter!

From what I have read, it was a pretty weird family set up anyway.

sorry eve
im legend.
oops


they may have been alternative postdog.

thats a different question.
but who lets a 15 year old out drinking in a bar till 4am their first time abroad ?
i thought the mccanns were negligent.
but this young girl appears to have been attacked because she was alllowed to wander off unacompanied or even watched by anyone.
hjas anyone any links to more info on this ?

LEt's get all harsh on the mum then shall we?

The tour guide whom they had become very friendly with agreed to look after her. The girl was nearly 16, in England at that age you could have a baby and get married and live in a council house on your own. I'm sure her mother wouldn't have let her stay if she felt the tour guide would have let her go drinking and walking home alone a that age. It was false sense of security maybe but she didn't murder her.

She was with her 25 year old boyfriend apparently !!

Lets save all our disgust and anger for the cretin that raped and murdered her shall we!! And if we can't do that, then perhaps we should wait until we get all the facts first!!

Legend004, I too have asked the same questions. I think the mother knew what sort of a crowd her daughter was mixing with as it was her who insisted her daughter had been murdered, despite the police saying otherwise. Goodsoulette, would the " the girl was nearly 16" excuse a paedophile? I don't think so!
