POLICE have released CCTV images of the moments before a 14-year-old girl was repeatedly stabbed in a Chorley park.
CCTV cameras filmed Jessica from Astley Village Pharmacy, Hallgate, minutes before she was found with multiple stab wounds by a passer-by in Astley Park on Monday evening.
Detective Superintendent Steve Brunskill, who is leading the investigation, said: "The CCTV images were captured just five minutes before Jessica was attacked and I would urge anyone who thinks they may have seen her in that time to contact us.
"If you were in the area at that time it may also be possible that you could have seen the person responsible for this nasty attack, and we would really like to speak to you."
Anybody with any information should contact the incident room at Chorley on 01257 246272 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
