Everything you need to know about the murder of 5-year-old April Jones who vanished just yards from her home
- Little April Jones vanished near to her home in Machynlleth, Powys, in Wales, on October 1, 2012. She was last seen getting into a vehicle. She was reported missing and a massive manhunt was launched in a bid to find her. Hundreds ended up joining the desperate search to find her.
- Local man Mark Bridger, 46, was arrested the following day and became a suspect after he matched the description of the man who was seen in the vehicle. He was later charged with abduction, murder and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
- Bridger, originally from Carshalton, in Surrey, had a string of previous convictions, and was given a whole-life term in 2013 after being found guilty of child abduction, murder, perverting justice and the unlawful concealment and disposal of a body.
- Most of April’s remains were never found, though some bone fragments were discovered at Bridger’s cottage and were later buried in April’s hometown.
- The father of April, Paul Jones, 56, died suddenly after contracting a virus – eight years on from being diagnosed with encephalitis – a serious brain condition. The former pub doorman never found out what happened to April’s body after she was abducted.
- Almost 14 years on, her older sister Hazel Jones, now 31, is breaking her silence on the tragedy that tore her family apart. She says Mark Bridger, the man who killed her, should be made to ‘suffer’ as he serves his life sentence.
