A family in Vernon, B.C. is mourning the dying of a tender girl killed in England Tuesday.
Charmaine Wadsworth said her stepdaughter, Ashley Wadsworth, 19, was the sufferer of a homicide in Essex, northeast of London.
Essex police say a 23-12 months-vintage man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
“We’re just remembering how strong and sensible and witty Ashley used to be and the way sort she used to be and the way she was once at all times 10 steps sooner than all people,” Charmaine Wadsworth stated in a phone interview. “And she’ll be dearly ignored by each and each one of us.
