Sister's Plea: Make April Jones' Killer Suffer
8 Feb
Summary
- Sister wants April Jones' murderer to experience prolonged suffering.
- April Jones vanished 14 years ago and her body was never found.
- The convicted killer has been attacked twice in prison.
Almost 14 years have passed since five-year-old April Jones disappeared while playing near her home in Machynlleth, Wales. The extensive search that followed ended in heartbreak when April was found to have been abducted and murdered by Mark Bridger, though her body has never been recovered.
April's older sister, Hazel Jones, 31, has broken her silence for the first time, expressing that Bridger, who received a life sentence, should 'suffer' for his crime. Bridger, convicted in 2013, has recently been attacked in prison for the second time, an event Hazel supports, stating he 'deserves everything he's getting'.
Hazel, who was 18 and pregnant when April vanished on October 1, 2012, has been deeply affected by the tragedy. She advocates for chemical castration of sex offenders, believing they should endure prolonged suffering rather than a swift death penalty, arguing they did not offer April an easy end.
