Parents ‘traumatised’ and kids ‘terrified’ after girl, 10, found dead in village home

One mother said she was traumatised by news of the young girl’s killing and her own child was terrified. Police said there was no risk to the public after the incident

Murder detectives have started the second day of their investigation into the death of a 10-year-old girl at her home in a quiet Surrey village.

Fellow parents in the quiet village of Horsell, near Woking, were traumatised by the news of the youngster’s killing, which one mum said has left her child terrified. A heavy police presence at the semi-detached property as people laid flowers on the pavement. Neighbours say a family with six “very young” children moved into the house in April.

One mother, who wished not to be named, said she was “traumatised” by the news, adding that her children were “terrified”. She said: “It’s just a shock. My 16-year-old daughter was very upset thinking about that little girl.” Several other local people said that they were in a state of shock after hearing the news.

One man in his 50s, who has lived in the area for 10 years, said: “It’s just sad. I was walking to the station to go to work and saw the cordon on the day. I didn’t ask anything really in that moment. I was very sad it’s a very nice area. Very quiet and safe. I’m surprised that anything like this could happen here such a quiet area.
