Memorial to murdered girl in church she was found

Jayden Parkinson was found dead at All Saints Church in Didcot in December 2013.

A garden in memory of the 17-year-old has already been opened near the church where the bench has been unveiled.

Revd Karen Beck told the BBC her family wanted it to be something to remember her by and a quiet place to sit.

Ms Parkinson was murdered by her ex-boyfriend Ben Blakeley before he hid her body in his uncle's grave at the church.

He was jailed for life in 2014 with a minimum term of 20 years.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
