    Fkn DISGUSTING when murderers write "apology" letters to the families of those they murdered. I'm sure sometimes they're serious and well-intentioned but that's probably rare. And Sabrina was a vile woman and it's beyond disgusting that she even put Sophie's name in her mouth and that she chose to speak to Sophie's poor family. Absolute TRASH.

    I used to work in Wimbledon which is very close to Southfields and I worked in Boots which is like a pharmacy which also sells toiletries skincare and makeup. Early on when I was working there on the tills Sabrina came in, bear in mind I’m new to working in retail, she took umbrage with the fact a certain offer wasn’t active anymore and berated me, my colleague and my manager to the point where I had to leave the shop floor in tears. She would make a beeline for me or my till every time she visited Boots and was really intimidating and aggressive. I think she liked that she made me feel vulnerable, like it was a power move. She would switch from being nice to being really quite vile at the drop of a hat when she didn’t get her way.
    It’s so sad that this vile woman took the life of a woman with such potential and how it’s devastated her family who trusted that their daughter would be in a safe work environment. These two individuals who killed or enabled the killing Sophie are beyond a disgrace and deserve to rot in prison.

    The picture of Sophie really brought what happened into reality for me. I live in the US, where the death penalty can be given. I am not a huge supporter of it, simply because the thought of someone who could be innocent being put to death is horrendous. However, in a case where they know for 100% certainty what happened, these monsters are the reason it even exists. This beautiful innocent girl had her life cruelly taken away and the human trash that took it still gets to breathe. This case will stay with me for a long time.

      I live in the US also, but the death penalty isn't an option in my state. Just to add on to your statement, bc it implies that anywhere in the US is eligible for the death penalty, which it is not. I always thought it was wrong, but when my good lifelong friend was murdered by someone else I'd known most of my life, my views on that somewhat changed. I actually ended up wishing that my statement did have the death penalty. Instead, he has life without mercy. Life with having free meals, no rent and access to cable tv, internet, I even heard that he has access to gaming consoles.
      Sometimes the world just isn't fair.

      @@livvy177 Depends on the person, really. My friend was killed by someone who thought that getting free meals and living rent-free the rest of his life with access to amenities like cable tv was actually a bargain. Seriously. We actually suspect that it was part of his motive. It makes me wish that my state had the death penalty, because life without mercy in this case applies more to the family and friends of the victim than it does to the prisoner.

      Paramedic here, in my 9 years of being a medic and doing cpr often as well as seeing it often, never have broken a sternum. If it was from cpr it’s because they were doing it incorrectly and far to low on the sternum. Breaking a sternum from cpr is very very very rare. More likley from them stomping on her or something of that sort, just more force than compressions.

      @@halihendry7551, sadly, this is incorrect. I was a cpr instructor for the fire department. Proper chest compressions are a third of the depth of your body. Fractures are absolutely common. That is why there are laws protecting people who administer compressions. Besides all of this, I seriously doubt they would have done it correctly.

      @@halihendry7551, I was revived by cpr last August 30th. I am a survivor. I was administered cpr whilst in the hospital. They did it correctly. My sternum was completely fractured, as well as most of my ribs in the front and back. Your sternum breaks from the top of your chest, not lower. You may be a paramedic but it's still the fire department that generally administers cpr. They have more strength than paramedics and are required to be up to fitness levels.

    Through the Court, they did not believe that Marc was having a relationship with Sophie, but used that like many other things to abuse her. They were not believing their lies, they knew the game they were both playing. In french we would say those two are "machiavelique" monsters. If they thought she had a relationship with Marc they would have sent her back to France... those people were basically monsters who took pleasure with her suffering. Her mum spoke many times about it all, she and her husband will never recover from it and can barely, even today, function in their daily life. Being French, I followed this tragedy, I had heard of cases where the helper was abused, bitten up etc... but never as bad as what happened to Sophie. May she Rest in Peace and maybe the parents find a bit of strength to live their lives. 🙏🙏🙏

As soon as you showed her picture, I thought “a classical gold digger”. 🤮 This is not just based on her appearance, it’s just her aura. Her letter does also tell a lot about her. It sounds like a letter that someone who had nothing to do with the murder wrote. “What happened to you”…That woman never takes responsibility even in words.

She did nothing for these two evil monsters to treat her so horrifically. I can’t help but feel like when people cross the line in such a manner as the way they did with poor Sophie, that they will never again be able to show any real remorse or ever be productive useful members of society. So I’m the least they should be locked away forever.

    I didn’t realize until like 15min in I had already heard this story… the pictures of Sophie that Bella shows before she was abused is so radically different than that shell of a person I had in my mind of Sophie from the first time I heard the case.. I didn’t realize what a gorgeous, glowing young woman Sophie was before I learned of her as a victim of such a heinous crime… I just can’t believe the actual decimation of this poor soul.. that reduced her to that last image.. I can’t believe this can even become of a human being in an busy, affluent city. In the end her abuse and suffering could not be contained and finally manifested into bellowing, raging, plumes of smoke and death. I hope her abusers become shells of themselves and die old and withered.
