THE FAMILY OF Alice Gross, who was murdered in west London, held a public memorial for her today.
The memorial took place at Greenford Town Hall in Middlesex.
Gross’s family had already held a private funeral for the teen.
Alice Gross (14) went missing in August. After extensive searches and a massive media appeal, including a reconstruction of her last known movements, her body was found five weeks after CCTV footage showed her walking along a towpath.
Her family said that they were devastated at the discovery, and thanked all those who helped in the search for Alice.
Alice was a loving and much loved daughter and sister, a quirky live spark of a girl, beautiful inside and out. She was a funny companion, a loyal friend, both passionate and compassionate, and so talented with a bright future ahead of her.
Alice was a talented singer and musician, and video of her performing was shown at the memorial. Some of her school teachers also performed, to mark her dedication to her craft.
The body of the main suspect in Gross’s murder, Arnis Zalkalns (41), was found just days after Alice’s body was located.
Zalkalns had served eight years in prison in his native Latvia for stabbing his wife and burying her in a forest.

Nevermind these two! Watch out for Ron Paul the people president.
Ron Paul is a quack.
Why ‘s no one talkin about Dr Ron Paul.?
Because he is a senile, racist homophobe? It would be pretty much like putting my grandmother in charge of the worlds largest nuclear stockpile. While he can’t be accused of not practising what he preaches, this extreme post-Tea Party libertarianism (Gingrinch: poor 6 year olds should work) only benefits those who are already wealthy and safely at the top of society. The fear of ‘Big Government’ seems to have its root in Internet conspiracy theory fetishism. You Internet nerds best remember he is a nasty piece of work like the rest of them too.
But….I will admit there is a media blackout on him – it would be much better to have his opinions on foreign policy (especially that towards hyper belligerent Israel) aired more often amongst the American (far) right.
Chris…any evident’s to support what you say ?
Erm – it’s all in the news mate, it’s entirely self-evident to anyone who reads a broadsheet newspaper – please feel free to point out any specific point that requires clarification
Hay Chris…

You have no idea who wrong this statement is, it would almost be funny if it weren’t so wrong
This is a reason to vote Ron Paul

Straight out of North Korea. Re-education camps for people who aren’t as brainwashed as you.
Oh so you wouldn’t like me to share an opinion so?
Clearly us brainwashed have taken all the grammar books too – I’ll bring enough dictionaries and thesauruses to the gulag for everyone then :) Can’t wait
That the news media that has blatantly censored Paul, fiddled with figures and has basically done everything in its power to mute his message?
I don’t think either the banks or military like Ron Paul, hence the media amnesia.
Ron Paul had the highest military donations. Mainstream media hate Ron Paul because he doesn’t fit their corporate agenda.
Ron Paul is a nut! You might like hearing what he has to say but what he is saying is ” everyone on their own” which is ok if you are strong and doing well but if you are old, young, jobless, poor, sick etc he will provide nothing for you! It will be a Darwinian world- survival of the fittest!
and if your any of those now who is looking after you ??
Go Obama
have your say
