Alice Gross murder: Police identify body in river


It always breaks my heart when a young girl goes missing. So when I read an article like this is really makes me think of how many sick and twisted people are out there…

A body found in a west London river is that of missing Alice Gross, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed.

The 14-year-old's body was found on Tuesday night in the River Brent. She was last seen on 28 August when she left her home in Hanwell, west London.  Alice's parents say they have been "left completely devastated" and thanked the local community for its help in the search.

A post-Morten examination began earlier at Uxbridge Mortuary. Police said: "Due to the complex nature of this investigation the post-Morten is still ongoing and will resume tomorrow."

Alice's parents Rosalind Hodgkiss and Jose Gross, said: "It is difficult to comprehend that our sweet and beautiful daughter was the victim of a terrible crime. Why anyone would want to hurt her is something that we are struggling to come to terms with."

Her school said in a statement she was "outstanding and talented".
