Three children killed during a sleepover were “popular” and “positive” pupils who had bright futures ahead of them, their school has said, as police continued to question a man on suspicion of murder.
Terri Harris, 35, was killed along with her children, John Paul Bennett, 13, Lacey Bennett, 11, and Lacey’s friend Connie Gent, 11, who was staying at their house at the weekend.
A 31-year-old man is being questioned on suspicion of all four murders. He was arrested shortly after officers arrived at the property in Killamarsh, Derbyshire, at 7.25am on Sunday.
"Charlie Gent, the father of Connie, wrote on social media: My little girl has gone, I cant even put into words or even how to feel or react right now.
I shouldnt even be writing this, now I have to live with the fact I was helpless to protect her as I always promised and shes gone.
Stuff like this I struggle to understand at all tbh. Mental illness? We've all been on the edge at some point in our lives but few people actually go out and murder people, and kids ffs, what was this guy thinking?
