April Jones, (4 April 2007 – c. 1 October
2012) from Machynlleth, Powys, Wales, aged five, disappeared on
1 October 2012, after being sighted willingly getting into a vehicle
near her home. Her disappearance generated a large amount of national and
international press coverage. A 46-year-old local man, Mark Bridger, was
subsequently arrested and charged with Jones's abduction and murder.
On 30 May 2013, Bridger was found
guilty of April's abduction and murder, in addition to perverting the course of
justice. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, with the trial judge ordering
that he never be released from prison.

Coral Jones said killer Mark Bridger
should be subjected to lethal injection, adding: "I'd
be there to push the button and make sure he saw me".
Mrs Jones, 42, spoke out as UK judges
ruled that life sentences can now mean a full life term for Britain's worst
criminals.
She spoke of her relief that Bridger
will never be freed but lamented that his human rights laws meant he has an
easy time in jail.
"I'm glad the judge did
this ruling and I'm glad that everybody else who does bad things will be
sentenced the same because life means life. You take somebody's life you
deserve life"
Mrs Jones said.
"Hanging is too good
for him, but with him sitting in a cell it's just an easy life for him. It's
too easy.
"They should bring
death row back to the UK and instead of having it for years and years, have it
for five years and before the five years is up he should be on that to have a
lethal injection.
"I'd be there to push
the button and make sure he saw me."
Slaughterman Bridger, 48, abducted
April, who had cerebral palsy, as she played near her home in Machynlleth, Mid
Wales in October 2012.
The five-year-old's disappearance led
to the biggest search and rescue operation seen in Wales involving police and
hundreds of volunteers.
Her body has never been found but
traces of her were discovered at Bridger's remote cottage.
He denied murdering little April but was
convicted by a jury at Mold Crown Court.
Mrs Jones added: "My little April
was only five. She was small and she had health issues and he did it to her.
"Life should be life. I don't
think they should have an easy life in prison, where they have three meals a
day. Perhaps, years ago, they had to earn stuff. Today they have human rights.
"Our rights went when he killed
our daughter and we still suffer now and it's over a year."
Bridger was attacked at Wakefield
Prison last year by convicted murderer and rapist Juvinal Ferreira, 24, who
said he did it to force him to reveal where April's body was.
He was slashed down the face with a
knife fashioned out of a razor and required more than 30 stitches.
Last December, Bridger indicated that
he was going to appeal but changed his mind in January.
Mrs Jones said: "I'm glad he
pulled out.
"I would have been there every
day to make sure he knew we wanted him to stay in prison because he should not
be allowed out of prison again.
"He's ruined my life, my husband's,
my kids' and everybody else's. Our town is not the same. My family all over the
world have all been hurt by it."
She added: "With the sentence
he's got he can never come out, which has helped us because until the judgement
was done and the appeal you'd never know.
"But to know that he can never
come out of jail alive will help us. It will never take the pain away, but we
know he's within those four walls and if he comes out he'll be in a box.
"I just hope he suffers hell in
prison - I really do because we're still suffering on the outside."
