Schoolgirl murder charge considered
Prosecutors could charge a man with the murder of 16-year-old schoolgirl Claire Tiltman, who was stabbed in Kent 21 years ago, the BBC understands.

It is understood that the file relates to Colin Ash-Smith, a suspect whose home was searched three times.

Ash-Smith is currently serving three life sentences for attacks on women.

The attacks include the stabbing of 22-year-old Charlotte Barnard in October 1995, yards from the alleyway where Claire was murdered.

He was convicted of attempted murder and jailed in 1997

Dear Shirley

Hello

I remember the harrowing news of young Claire's death being broadcast.

It would be justice at last for her family if the right person was convicted of her murder.

Rest in peace, Claire.


Sincere wishes to you, Shirley
Elizabeth,
