oh my god

Yesterday I went shopping in my lunch hour with my mum, looking for gifts for my sister and her husband, who celebrate their first anniversary this weekend. While we were out, my mum wanted to pop into Poundstretcher, as she'd been told that they had started stocking wool and she wanted to check it out. But we were unable to go in, however. The shop was all sealed off and swarming with police.

It turns out that this is why! We must have passed just after it happened!

:o Bloody hell. I wonder whether it was a random attack or whether the two women were known to each other. Thank goodness you weren't there earlier.

Yep. That was pretty much my reaction when I saw it on the news. I stood there spluttering, "b-b-but...I was just THERE!"

Turns out, the victim lived around the corner from me. :-(

Imagine getting murdered in Poundstretcher, of all places!

Blimey! You were fortunate not to have been involved.

Augh! How awful! I hope they figure out who did this - and as awful as it sounds, that the attacker knew this poor woman (as opposed to it being some mentally ill drifter, wandering the streets and attacking just anyone.)
