The Chaste Killer

Chapter 1

It was a quiet night when a young girl was walking back from her school play. She never heard the footsteps following her until it was too late. She felt someone breathing on her and arms grab her from behind. It seemed strange to her that the arms weren't bulky and strong like she would have thought from an attacker but thin and pale…

"Right, what have we got here Roger?" asked Terry as he and Max got out of the car and walked up to Roger. "Lucy Fisher, she was walking home from her school. She was found at six this morning by an old woman walking her dog. "What about her parents?" Max asked as he and Terry looked at the body of the sixteen year old girl. "Mel's over there now, she said that when she didn't come home last night they thought she might have gone to friends to spend the night and forgotten to call them". "Right, thanks Roger" Max and Terry walked up to the body where Eddie was photographing the girl's body. "Eddie what can you tell us about Lucy here?" Terry asked Eddie. "Well she was hit over the back of her head with a blunt weapon, most likely a stick of some sort and from what I can tell she was killed instantly by the impact of the blow. I can definitely rule out any sexual motivation as she is still fully clothed. What puzzles me is the way she's laid out. Like she's being laid to rest." "It's almost like the killer cares about her" Terry said. "Terry, is it me or does this scene look kind of familiar" Max thought aloud. "Yeah this looks exactly like a case that Mickey and Jo were working on last week"

"Max, Terry brief everyone on this case please?" Neil gathered everyone in the briefing room. "Well Lucy Fisher was killed last night around 8:30 while she was walking home from school" Terry started off. "She was fully clothed so there was no sexual motive and she was laid out peacefully so there was no anger in the killer. We also noticed that this case is very similar to the murder of Denise Ellis." Max continued. "Yeah they're both redheads and both are in the general age" Jo pointed out. "They were laid out in the same way as well and they were killed the same way, Guv is it possible that we could have a serial killer on here hands?" asked Mickey. "We don't know for sure yet but it's a definite possibility" "Guv?" Eddie called out as he came in with two files. "Something was bothering me about Lucy Fisher and Denise Ellis so I looked over their autopsy reports and I found a little bit of info that's too big to be a coincidence". Neil looked at the files then stared at Eddie in shock. "They were both virgins!"
