New pictures of beautiful girl, 9, released as murder trial begins
Aria Thorpe’s family shared the photos as the trial opened, while the 16-year-old defendant faces murder charges in her stabbing death.
- The murder trial of a 16-year-old boy for the death of Aria Thorpe began Monday at Bristol Crown Court. She died from a single stab wound at her home in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, on 15 December last year.
- Avon and Somerset Police stated the family 'deliberately' selected six photos to be 'associated' with Aria during the proceedings. These images capture the girl on a London trip, including one in front of Big Ben.
- Tom Thorpe, Aria's father, described the loss as 'devastating' and recalled her 'wacky ways.' He misses the journeys where she would ask him to test her with 'numbers.'
- Her mother's family remembered her as 'the most beautiful little soul — happy-go-lucky, full of light, and joy.' She loved to sing and dance, taking pride in dressing up.
- For those affected by violence, the Archway Society for Domestic Peace provides support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Individuals can contact the organization at 250-542-1122 for help.
