[@carolking8330]

I totally agree but had they actually seen those 5 men hiding, most likely they would have been maliciously attacked also, given those bastards state of mind and adrenaline. It is though so devastating that she wasn't rescued 💔

I’m sad that Anitas family disliked John so much that he had to go through all of that without their support. He clearly loved her so much.

[@littlepixiesimba16]

agreed but i guess her family maybe didnt like the fact he was so keen to make her a mother when she was still enjoying her life. I think thats probably what the issue was. Still though they really should have been so much more supportive of him, he never should have been so alone and distraught that he turned to drugs.

[@emilie9081]

That's true, but we also don't really know what John and Anita's relationship was like behind closed doors. He could have been in absolute bits by her passing, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a toxic love either. He seemed eager to impregnate her before she was ready, and I was surprised to find out that only 3 years after meeting Anita needed a break from "all the fighting"... For example, my ex would have been absolutely destroyed if I passed, especially in a similar way, and a lot of John's coping mechanisms reminded me of my his. However, my ex was abusive and truly had a very toxic love/obsession for me; I felt a prisoner in my relationship. My parents did not like him at all and would not have supported him through my loss had that happened to me, and I wouldn't have wanted them to either. BUT, I'm definitely not assuming that John is like that; it's just to give you a different perspective :)

[@drewhd4919]

Are u ashley

[@everythingmorbid]

Yeah it's a tough one. Anita's dad said that Anita had said that she loved John but the relationship was over. Her friends also said that he would call her a lot and she never really called him. Without being to be able to talk to Anita it's really hard to know where the truth lies. John says they were going to get back together, but were they really? Is that what was happening or was he desperately hoping?

As an Australian I would like to say thank you so much for covering this devastating tragedy. I remember I was 13 at the time, I witnessed so many people had signs up everywhere demanding the hanging of these vile creatures. I once saw a cattle truck from the slaughter yards with huge white tarps with the words “ HANG THE BASTARDS” in huge lettering. That’s when I first heard about this horrific event as I asked what the truck signage was all about. It totally shocked and disgusted me at the time and the memory of seeing that truck has never left me. I’m so very glad they were all arrested and made to take accountability for their appalling and cowardly behaviour and actions. No one deserves what happened to this beautiful young woman and they deserved every single beating and every attack they ever received. Thankfully her parents and loved ones got the justice they so deserved knowing these monsters will never see the outside ever again.

@@GalinaEv yeah, İ think same. But it is so sad to watch how bad luck was following Anita that day. Even if small thing was different that evening, probably she would be alive now.

For anyone watching this that is UK based, there is a volunteer-run organisation called Strut Safe, they’re open through most nights so you can call or video chat with someone if you’re having to walk home alone for any reason and they will keep talking to you until you’re home safely. Just having someone else on the phone who knows where you are can be a deterrent for an attacker looking for easy targets
