I've just fixed the blog to reflect the correct information. <BR/><BR/>For those who haven't heard of this crime, here is brief summary from the Wikipedia: <BR/><BR/>"On 22 June 1954, the girls took Honora Rieper for a walk in Victoria Park in their hometown of Christchurch. On an isolated path Juliet dropped an ornamental stone so that Ms. Rieper would lean over to retrieve it. At that point, Pauline had planned to hit her mother with half a brick wrapped in a stocking. The girls presumed that would kill the woman. Instead, it took 45 frenzied blows from both girls to finally kill Honora Rieper. The brutality of the crime has contributed to its notoriety."<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your input, Kristi -- and thanks for reading my blog!<BR/><BR/>PeterPeter D.

Perry was originally Juliet Hulme. Parker was discovered in 1997 living in England under the name of Hilary Nathan. It's all a very tragic story.<BR/><BR/>I've learned of lots of wonderful books from your blog. Thank you.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.com
