Britain's youngest ever murderer, Sharon Carr, could soon be released from jail. Just 12 years old at the time of her crime, Carr brutally stabbed an innocent 18-year-old, Katie Rackliff, 32 times in an unprovoked attack as she was walking home from a night out in June 1992.
It took five years for the police to catch up with Carr and bring her to justice. During that time, they had been searching for an adult male suspect, such was the level of violence they found on Katie's body. This led to Carr becoming known as 'The Devil's Daughter'.
Carr had made chilling diary entries revealing how she was 'born to be a murderer' and that killing was a 'mass turn-on'. Now, more than 30 years since Katie's murder, Carr could be released from prison within days, according to reports.
On the night of the murder, Carr had written: 'I'm a killer. Killing is my business. And business is good.' The Parole Board has confirmed that a parole review has been referred to them.
At the time of her sentencing, Judge Mr Justice Scott Baker described her as an 'extremely dangerous individual'. He said: 'It is apparent both from the brutal manner in which you mutilated her body and chilling entries in your diary, that killing, as you put it, turns you on.'
Carr had also attacked another schoolgirl with a knife in 1994, and had tried to strangle two nurses in 1997. A source told the Mirror: 'Carr's crimes were terrifying and there have been signs in prison that she's still a danger. She's been in solitary confinement. No one will want to see her released.'
The Parole Board spokesman said: 'We can confirm the parole review has been referred to the Parole Board by the Secretary of State for Justice. Reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.'
It is hard to believe that Sharon Carr, a 12-year-old girl, could have committed such a violent and heinous act. It is clear that her release from prison must be carefully considered by the Parole Board, to ensure the safety of the public. The events of June 7, 1992, and the devastating impact on Katie Rackliff's family will never be forgotten.
