[edit] Biography

Wizzart was born in 1988[1] around the area of Fallowfield and Withington, some miles south of Manchester City Centre.

In 2004, Wizzart appeared on the British talent show Stars in Their Eyes Kids performing the song "Un-Break My Heart" by Toni Braxton.[2]

Shortly before her death, Wizzart had completed her A-level examinations, in English language, law, and philosophy, receiving two A grades and one B grade. Wizzart had planned to attend the University of Manchester to study law.[3]

[edit] Murder

On 12 July 2007, Wizzart and her mother Beverley Samuels were sexually assaulted and murdered in their home in Fallowfield. Her brother Fred was also murdered at the scene. Although the murders took place in the late afternoon, their bodies were not discovered until 19:00 (GMT) when neighbors noticed their absence.[4] After Beverley's niece failed to receive an answer from the front door, a neighbour entered the first floor of the house using a stepladder.[5]

Pierre Williams, an ex-boyfriend of Wizzart's mother, was convicted of the three murders on 6 March 2008 and given three life sentences.[6]
