Mary Ann and her friend were kidnapped, taken to a hotel to be tortured and raped for hours, and
then Mary Ann was fatally stabbed while her friend escaped death following a gunshot to the head
after they were taken to the recreation area in Tilehurst Road, Reading on May 7th 2005.
A group of men left London by car, on 6th May 2005. They travelled to Reading to kidnap, torture and
rape Mary Ann and her friend before trying to kill them both in Prospect Park in Reading.
They arrived at the disused Wallingford Arms Car Park, where Mary Ann and her 2 friends were sitting
in a white car, the six men approached the car, they Kidnap Mary Ann and her Friend and put them in
the boot of a car.
They were then taken to the Abbey House Hotel in Connaught Road, Reading. This is where the Rape,
Sexual Assault and Torture took place over a period of hours.
Mary Ann and her friends were then driven to Propect Park. Mary Ann was stabbed 40 times and her
friend was shot in her head and left to die.
Mary Ann’s friend managed to get to the Tilehurst Road in Reading to raise the alarm by stopping a
passer-by on his way to work.
This story is truely horrific. I have got the information from various sources & just wanted to do
something. I did not know Mary-Ann or her friend. My love to you Mary-Ann & your family. May you
rest in peace sweetheart. So sorry. x

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere.
