The Soham home where Ian Huntley murdered schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman was knocked down in 2004.
During the trial, girlfriend Maxine Carr's evidence was ripped to shreds - after initially covering for her partner by claiming she had been with the school caretaker that fateful weekend.
But she admitted in front of a jury that she had been lying; when the 10-year-old girl's had been lured inside and killed, she was in Grimsby visiting her mum.
When she returned after her family visit, the shared home was spotless - as Huntley had tried to conceal evidence linking him to the senseless murders.
The home, where the pair was killed, was dubbed the House of Horrors - with only Huntley alone knowing what happened after the girls entered the property.

The pair, enjoying the summer holidays, were killed there and transported by evil Huntley to a ditch near RAF Lakenheath.
The horrific events inside 5 College Close left Brits horrified, and the modest two-storey home became a notorious local landmark.
While investigating, police officers ripped the home apart looking for evidence - as they stripped floorboards and wallpaper, looking for anything to nail Huntley.
The home was bare - with pastel coloured walls and few personal belongings, giving little away about its two inhabitants.
Net curtains in the window were pushed aside in order to make way for a missing poster appealing for information about Holly and Jessica.
The clean-up job by Huntley meant police found no blood, hair or fingerprints from either girl inside the home.
But they did find prints of Holly's hands found on a gift box of chocolates she had given to Maxine Carr, a teaching assistant at her school, weeks earlier.
Then in August 2004, the home was reduced to rubble as a 20-ton bulldozer demolished it, in order to prevent it from becoming a permanent reminder of their deaths.
At the time, College principal Howard Gilbert said: 'This has been a long time coming. For the school in particular there is a sense of relief.
"We have understood the reasons why the house had to stay with us for so long, but it is not the environment we want the school to operate in. '
Talking about his pupils, he added: 'I am sure from their point of view it has been a reminder they could have done without having. I think there will be a sense of a burden being lifted when they return. A sense of lightness.'
