I see the trial of Karen Matthews and Michael Donovan began this week.
Both defendants have accepted that they knew where Shannon was and that she was not missing.
They say that Shannon was drugged and tied to a roof beam by Donovan in a kidnap plot he had hatched with Karen Matthews. They were going to release her in Dewsbury market once the reward money had reached £50,000. Donovan would 'find' her and they would share the money.
How could they think so little of their child?
People like that are an another species to me.
