Horror

Mary Bell

Mary Bell was a little girl who came from a very bad
home. Her mother was an alcoholic and her father
was mostly absent. She was abused and neglected
for most of her life. When she was 11 years old, she
strangled a little boy named Martin Brown to death
and left his body on a patch of wasteland.
Not long afterwards, she broke into a school with
her friend Norma and the two girls left anonymous
notes with bizarre messages like "I murder so that I
may come back" and "We murder. Watch out...
There are murders about. We murdered Martin
brown".
A few months later, Mary strangled another little
boy to death. Norma was probably involved as well.
They carved the letter "M" on his stomach. Mary
turned up at the boy's house and asked his mother
if she could see him in his coffin and started
laughing at his funeral.
The police grew suspicious and arrested the two
girls. Mary wouldn't admit to anything, but Norma
told the police what she knew. The two girls were
tried for murder. Mary Bell was found guilty and
went to prison.
At the age of 23, she was released and the police
gave her a new identity. Since then, she has lived a
normal life and has children of her own.
