I can't believe it's ten years ago today since Janet was murdered on her way home from Preston.
I always remember when it happened because during the day of 15th June, 1996, the bomb went off in Manchester and whilst Janet was out shopping in Preston with a friend she called into a church and lit a candle for all the people who had been injured in the bomb attack. Little did she know that that night she would be murdered on her way home from a girls night out.
My husband and I were out that night, queued up for a taxi outside Tokyo Joes and we would have been outside there the same time as Janet was. We got in our taxi and went home. When we arrived home I'd left my key in the taxi so we had to wait for about half an hour before the taxi driver could drop it off to us. During that time, we found out later, Janet was murdered. We can see the river from our house and live literally only minutes away from where she was murdered. It made me feel so sad when I found out we would have been laughing and joking waiting for our key to be dropped off whilst this young lady lost her life.
The 10 years have flown by but I'm sure it must still just feel like yesterday that it happened to her parents.
