The grieving parents of Leah Croucher have today paid tribute to their daughter as they broke their silence for the first time since her body was found.
Heartbroken Claire and John Croucher said the "faint glimmer of hope" they had held that the 19-year-old was still alive had been "brutally extinguished".
The admin assistant's body was discovered in the loft of a home less than a mile from her home.
