Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway were best friends who lived close to each other on the Moulsecoomb estate in the north of Brighton but attended different schools. At around 3:30 p.m. on 9 October 1986 the two returned home from school before going out to play. At around 5 p.m. Susan Fellows saw her daughter and Hadaway playing with a roller boot, the last time she saw her daughter alive.
