The murder of 18-year-old Lily Sullivan by Lewis Haines has not prompted a huge amount of coverage, but the sheer casualness of this 31-year-old man's evil is terrifying. A man who killed a woman because she rejected him.
These are the words read in court from Lily's mum Anna:
Sometimes people will misunderstand you, unintentionally or on purpose, and that's okay. It's not your job to explain yourself, your past, your existence to anyone. You do you. If people wanna be upset about that, let them but that's not your burden to carry. Keep shining anyway.
