The sister of murdered six-year-old Rikki Neave is keen to speak to his killer after he was finally brought to justice. James Watson was 13 when he lured Rikki into woods in Peterborough and strangled him with his anorak before leaving the body in a star shape in 1994.
He was finally convicted 28 years later after a conviction for sexually assaulting a young man in 2016 linked his DNA to Rikki's murder. Rikki's sister Rochelle, who successfully challenged a 2018 decision to drop the case against Watson due to insufficient evidence, now says she has questions that need answering.
Rochelle, 30, said in quotes reported by the Mirror : “I don’t know why he did it and that’s what I want to know. I haven’t got closure.
