pegkerrThis happened less than a mile and a half from my home.
On a gut level this feels like just about the most horrific crime spree I've heard of in the eighteen years I've been living here, short of murder. I guess it's especially jarring because the first victim's age is pretty close to mine, and her daughter's age is close to Delia's. The second and third victims' ages bracket Fiona's. And I've been in that park, many, many times. It's the park where the May Day festival is held, which makes it absolute sacrilege to me.
And the perpetrators...God in heaven, they're kids.
