LUCY’S LAST MOMENTS
POLICE have released CCTV of the first sighting of murdered schoolgirl Lucy McHugh after she was last seen at her home.
The 13-year-old disappeared after she left her home in Southampton at 9am on Wednesday, July 25.
Her body was found in woodland at Southampton Sports Centre at 7.45am the following day. She had been stabbed to death.
Hampshire police have released images of the teenager near the sports centre outside A Tesco Express store at 9.30am on Wednesday.
A police spokesman said: “Since leaving her house, we now know that Lucy was close to the sports centre just half an hour later.
“We need to know how she reached the Tesco Express and where she went next.
“Maybe you were driving or cycling past at that time and can remember something.
“You may even have
dash cam or action camera footage.
“We’re hoping the CCTV footage will jog people’s memories so we can further build up a picture of Lucy’s movements.
“Lucy was carrying her jacket at the time. It was a hot day, so you may have seen her wearing a white top.
“We’re also asking runners or walkers to
check their mapping apps for the period in question.

“They have information that might be useful to our investigation.”
Lucy was last seen wearing a distinctive black jacket with white sleeves, a logo for the band Falling in Reverse on the front and RADKE 01 in red on the back,
a white vest top, a pair of camouflage leggings and black and white Jordan 23 trainers.
Stephen-Alan Nicholson, who was arrested on suspicion of murder and sexual activity with a child, was released on police bail on July 31 but was remanded in custody after failing to tell police his Facebook password.
