PARENTS WANT JUSTICE FOR CHRISTINA 27 YEARS ON

THE parents of murdered teen Christina Menzies say they will always feel “stuck in 1993” – the year their daughter died.

John and Christine Menzies, from Glasgow, last week launched a witness appeal, 27 years on from the death, and are offering £20,000 for anyone with new information.

John told the Record

BY TARA FITZPATRICK that the family will “never give up hope” of finding the person responsible for 16-year-old Christina’s murder and bringing the killer to justice.

Christine said: “She is never far from our minds. This tragedy is really, really hard to deal with.

“She would have been growing up and you think about what she would be like now. She had wanted to be a journalist.

“Whenever there’s a family gathering there is a person missing. Some part of you will always be stuck back in 1993.”

John said: “We regularly go to her grave and take care of it.

“Her memory is always there. She is with us everywhere we go.”

On the evening of June 12, 1993, schoolgirl Christina attended Club 47, a disco in the German RAF Gutersloh Military Station where her dad, then a staff sergeant, was stationed.

She didn’t return home and her body was found the next day, six miles away. She had been strangled. A soldier was acquitted of murdering Christina at a court martial in 1994.

Christine said: “We remain convinced that a military family know the answer.”

Anyone who may have information about Christina’s death is asked to contact Crimestoppers UK on 0800 555 111.
