My escape from 'Mr Evil Eyes'
|
A schoolgirl described yesterday how she was clubbed with a
fencing stake in the same area and on the same day Claire Hood was
killed.
Louise Jones, 13, a third-former at Rumney High School, told how
she escaped the clutches of a man she called "Mr Evil Eyes" after
he beat her over the head with a piece of wood.
She believes the man was trailing both her and Claire, whose
half-naked body was discovered hidden in the dense undergrowth of a
local wood on Thursday morning.
The girl described how she took a short cut through the grounds
of a derelict house when going to visit a friend after school.
