This fits two profiles: either this is some cold, callous, monstrous psychopath — or ''a perfectly ordinary young woman''. You know — a sparky, fun, popular young woman. The life and soul of the party.

“Sparky, full of fun, popular — she looks like the life and soul of the party in these photos. I don't know what Britain's most prolific child killer should look. I'm pretty sure it’s not this, though.

“She comes across as — mousy; a bit normal — you can’t really marry that with the enormity of what she’s been accused of.”
