Murders That Happened Involving People I Knew/know.

I hope this is the correct section to post this in. This happened 20 years ago on the Isle of Man (where I was born and raised, I left age 15 in 2000) I grew up in care and knew Sammy and George well. The first time I met Sammy she was brought into the children's home and she was scared. She came and sat next to me and asked me about my dolls, I gave her one to keep and she hugged me and clung to me.

I knew George through his sister who was a close friend but we lived together more as we got older and were placed in the older kids home which was basically a young offenders unit. I met Peter when I was 14 and he helped me avoid the kids home (abuse from staff) by letting me deliver drugs for him around the Island he gave me bus fare and money for each one I dropped off. I'm not proud of this but it was the lesser of 2 evils.

I dated Peter for about 4 months and he was a very twisted person, I'd heard stories about him, one in particular being that he'd killed a duck for fun. One night we were walking by a pond and I asked him if was true thinking it couldn't be and he responded by catching a duck and breaking it's neck in front of me. I broke up with him and purposely got myself grounded so I had an excuse for avoiding him. I left the island shortly afterwards and decided to stay in England after I left the specialist kids home I was moved to (which calmed me down and saved my life)

In February 2002, which was a few weeks after I'd gotten my first flat I got a call from my mum telling me what had happened. Peter had strangled, raped and stabbed Sammy and George to death over a rock of crack (most of the kids I grew up with ended up on drugs, hence me saying moving away saved my life). He raped them both before and after death as well. He was arrested and denied it but eventually they found his DNA on both bodies and on the shoelaces he used to strangle them.

This event turned my life upside down and sent me into my first proper cycle of mental illness. I stayed in bed crying for months and was medicated up to the eyeballs. These were 2 people I grew up with in care and in care you form close bonds with others as you're all in it together. Peter was out on bail at the time for raping a 14 year old girl but had he been remanded (not his first rape charge) this wouldn't have happened.

He was found guilty and sentenced to life with a minimum of 20 years before he can apply for parole which was this year but he's never admitted guilt or any kind of remorse for what he did so I'm hoping he's never released.

I'm still good friends with Sammy and Georges sisters so I've got some pictures they've uploaded, I've blurred out the other peoples faces for privacy.

R.I.P Sammy and George.

Wow, you had some rough beginnings there. Glad you had the sense to avoid the drugs growing up. Good decisions. Life saving decisions, as you say.

Thank you, I'm fully aware of how lucky I was to get away from all that as most of the kids I grew up with are either dead or in prison. There's a few good eggs that are doing well though.
