I could listen 24/7 to your stories

[@trueblueaussie7997]

Well done Casefile. Thank you for sharing Hannahs heartbreaking story. May she rest in peace and remain in her families, friends, and love ones hearts and memories for ever and eternity

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

This case hurts very much. Thank you for your presentation of this case. Needless to say I hope that man is burning in Hell. Please rest easy Hannah.

[@cynthiagibson6793]

Thank God for CCTV

[@katrinarose72]

Two weeks now of trying to sleep without your voice in the background, and I end up sleepless until after midnight when I give in and turn on one of your videos. I have to listen to each one twice, because I fall asleep halfway through every time.

[@kristalefler4931]

I do the same. My new favorite voice to help my sleep troubles! ❤️

[@SH-to8sh]

Awww that's cute

[@katieheggs5683]

Same. I always fall asleep, too! Sometimes my dreams turn the story into a happy ending. For example, I will dream that the horrible events were a scene in a movie, and all the characters are fine once the director says cut. Lol, I have to go back and listen to what really happened in the end.

[@itallia666]

Firstly thank you for the sensitive & comprehensive way Casefiles handled Hannahs case So tragic & brutal & pointless. I was shocked to hear her murderer announce, when he was finally apprehended " oh what have i done! Ive ruined my life, wasted my life " Not a word about how he ruined Hannahs life & all her family & friends lives...only his own. I can only hope he suffers much before he leaves this Earth & i hope he lives a long long time in abject misery & persecution! I must add, having travelled extensively in India & Pakistan In the late 1970's. I was never treat with anything but respect, happiness, smiles, help & willingness to share in knowledge & wisdom. I wholeheartedly fell into the many cultures & traditions of this amazing cornucopia of lands Its such a beautiful country & much poverty & affliction still evident. However, i dont think ive ever come across such joyful, genuine happy people, rich not in money but close supportive families & the love & willingness to open their hearts & homes to a funny odd Englishwoman wanting friendship & being genuinely interested in them, just ordinary working people, real people. So much snobbery & distain though from upperclass Indian & Pakistan people, almost rejecting their own culture wanting only to be Trendy Kensington type utter snobs. Ah well, it takes all to make the world turn. I know the majority of Indian or Pakistani people would have been mortified & ashamed by Hannahs murder by one of their own. 3 MASSIVE Cheers to Jason & his free school. Its like Hannah is expanding her spirit to bring the means to Jason to start his school & keeping her name alive in naming his school in Hannahs honour. So beautiful... Hannah lives on.

I have to say in a lot of Indian culture, it is believed to be better to have a gambling, cheating abusive man, than no man at all. Men are treasured and women ans female children are items to sell or own. Its a sad truth but indicates some explanation to why the wife initially reacted the way she did, despite knowing the truth when the police questioned her. Poor Hannah.

[@modemarose4497]

Oh My Goodness 🙀 That was a stunning tribute & legacy in her honor. Very touching indeed 🖤💫 p.s. i love your content .. tis fabulous 👌

[@drewmadenew3000]

It never ceases to amaze me how brutal humans can be. I think we often forget that at the end of the day we are all animals. Some of us are just vile, selfish creatures.

[@kerriemorris3155]

I work wit horses and have rescue dogs and hate to hear scum vile evil people being compared to animals as they do not have these traits n i know it can be a figure of speech but it is just insulting to any animal x

[@myselfme767]

Animals are brutal.

[@shaddowgolden1054]

Kerrie Morris humans are literally animals though..

[@martinvallins9097]

Animals are brutal but never kill to satisfy a warped selfish sexual need

[@maxinegrears2944]

@@myselfme767 animals kill (usually) for food, most humans today are horrible, I live with my 3 little dogs and I’m not bothered if I don’t see people, can’t even be bothered with my own family anymore, people only care about themselves, how much money they have and material things, greedy and selfish are the words I’d use

[@emd344]

Jason is so awesome

[@richardblades6246]

Great job Casefile!

[@gyogyuza]

i actually cried at the mums eulogy at the end holy crap

[@susiefoxy8130]

This case is local to me, cant believe its over 16 years ago now, my husband was stopped on his way to work that next morning and was questioned but he had no idea what it was about until later. Really sad case.

Finally! I've been waiting patiently for my fix!! :D

Same!

I’ve never heard of this silent solution thing in all my English 42yrs ...what a crying shame this girls attempt at getting help was lost in a system

The Victim Impact Statement made me cry

The offender’s dad is ok.

What a narcissist..it was her fault she was killed and his life is ruined.....sick.

[@yukiefromoz2573]

I remember this case.

[@jennklein1917]

Jennifer watched this video 😮

[@SpicyTexan64]

I am truly unable to understand the insistence of the UK "justice system" to provide monsters like this one the opportunity to be released from prison at some point in their lives. The value a society places on human life is measured by the punishment it imposes on those who willfully take an innocent life. Was Hannah's life somehow worth only a portion of his?

[@Catsss1017]

Young girl is dead and that woman is only worried about herself wow

[@evdaribarovski5698]

What very tragic and extremely sad story. Hannah desperately tried to save herself if only the 999 operator paid more attention that it was a call for help darling Hannah you are not forgotten. If I was the judge Hannah I would have given him the death sentence no questions asked my deepest sympathy and condolences to the Foster family. I hope he never comes out if jail alive is my biggest wish.

[@jesusfreak996]

This poor family 😢😢thi This poor girl😢😢😢

eco friendly coffin releasing balloons into the sky yikes

[@Lifewithoutyou0105]

His wife believed that he had been set up, but they didn’t explain the scratches on his face . Ok

[@gaylemc2692]

It seems everyone was a victim except Hannah. Why those two women would want him as a husband is beyond me.

[@Fallen_Venus]

Probably to try and save face. They didn't want to face the shame so chose to be in denial.

[@rogerpattube]

The comments from the offender’s family and brides are interesting, aren’t they?

[@TomTheOwl68]

The wife is an unbelievably selfish woman. All she did was whine about herself. Why did God make her live with a criminal? How about why did God allow her husband to take an innocents life. Selfish selfish woman. I do not wish her the best.

Dancers with knee problems are often caused by instructors that do not insist that the knee be locked straight during one leg turns. It took me until I was 30 to find one that did.

Eco-friendly coffin, then releasing 200 balloons? Hmm

[@timjoslyn1657]

That is your comment on this?? The coffin and then balloons?? Sickening.

[@coletrain3178]

Brice Martin you should not release balloons. EVER. Not ever.

[@bugsieverse]

@@timjoslyn1657 Bruh, calm down. It's a thought they had, it's kind of weird of you to comment on this comment and get so mad at it. Did this person say that the balloons took any importance away from this tragic story? No. So before you comment, I think you should think long and hard about what you're going to say before you say it.

[@timjoslyn1657]

@@bugsieverse In my position it's not weird 'bruh'. Even if I wasn't in my position I would still think it unnecessary and kind of disrespectful to watch that video and then feel that the only comment was the choice of balloons.

[@bugsieverse]

@@timjoslyn1657 They never stated anything about how the crime wasn't a tragedy, a sickening cruel man ending the life of a young woman. However, people have the freedom to comment what they want. Maybe it wasn't there only comment, but people aren't obligated to go along your narrative of only focusing on the sad parts.

Poor work by operator

[@chels3707]

.....The English do go all out when it comes to sentimentality don't they?

[@rogerpattube]

Like being way too upset when their daughter is murdered? Yeah they should be less sentimental. Dick.

[@chels3707]

@@rogerpattube haha. Sentimentaly is not the same thing as genuine upset. Instead it is the ABSENCE of genuine feeling, and expressed in virtue signaling. Besides I was not talking about the parents, but the actual evil sentimental culture of England prone to public outbursts of sentimentality, whilst conspicuously lacking in actual charity or any morals whatsoever.
