Teenage killer Kim Edwards is 'another Myra Hindley'

A schoolgirl who became Britain’s youngest double murderer after killing her mother and younger sister has been compared to Myra Hindley.

Kim Edwards and her boyfriend Lucas Markham murdered Edwards’ mother Elizabeth and 13-year-old sister Katie as they slept in their home in Lincolnshire last April.

Graham Green, Elizabeth’s bereaved partner, said the girl should never be freed from prison and compared her to the infamous moors murderer Myra Hindley who killed five children alongside Ian Brady in the 1960s.

According to the Times, Mr Green said: “I think she’s another Myra Hindley as far as I’m concerned. She should be never, never be let out.”

In an interview for a Channel 5 programme to be aired on Monday night, detective superintendent Martin Holvey, of Lincolnshire Police, said neither killer showed remorse during questioning.

He said: “You actually recount the story to your team and everyone sits there — hardened detectives — and thinks, I can’t believe what you’re hearing.”

“You know, over 30 years as a cop you look at this case and there’s nothing that rivals it that I’ve come across.

“A really brutal, chilling, cold and callous act that was carried out by these two children on two defenceless victims.”

The baby-faced killers, who are believed to be Britain’s youngest double murderers, were both 14 when they carried out the murders.

A ban on naming the pair was lifted this month because of the extraordinary nature of the case.
