Two bodies found this morning in Petersfield, Hampshire.

Walking this morning we had to make a detour to get to school due to a large area just down the road having been sectioned off by the police.

Clearly, from the magnitude of the operation something quite serious had occured. There were a number of policement guarding the boundaries, cars parked on the pavements (a section of the road set off for us to walk on), road closed, carpark sectioned off, an ambulance outside and a forensic scienstist going into one of the buildings. As the area is pretty much just outside from our school, everyone was talking about it and various ridiculous rumours were circulating with 'Well I heard that...'

It transpired during the day that two bodies had been found, one in and one out of a some flats on one of the road.

On the way home it appears many more people have been called in, with policemen checking down the dranes etc. A forensic tent has been set up and camera crew vans have parked around the area.


Aparently there have been quite a lot of violent assaults etc going on over the past few weeks. Not good, obviously.

Anyway, just felt like sharing that.

She wasn't murdered in a farm.... the name of the close/ area that she lived in was called Badger's farm... it is just up the road from where my nan lives. Quite an affluent area, Badgers Farm!

There's been 2 murders on my street in the past, about 5 houses either side of my house. One was stabbed in the chest when a drunk stranger was turned away from a family New Years party (obviously, since it was a private gathering), and he returned with a knife and stabbed whoever happened to answer the door. The other involved a man hammering his wife to death in the bath.
Argh, Petersfield isn't too far from me! And I work in Winchester! Eek!
