Christopher Hampton pleaded guilty to murdering Melanie Road, 17, during the early hours of 9 June 1984. In the 32 years since Melanie died, Hampton lived an apparently normal family life a few miles from Bath. Popplewell told Hampton, who has three children: “You murdered and sexually abused Melanie Road in a cul-de-sac in Bath near where you and she lived. “That was a big shock to see Melanie lying there,” Road said. A 64-year-old man has admitted murdering a teenage girl who was stabbed to death more than three decades ago in Bath.
