When Mark Jones took his seven-year-old daughter Emily to the park, no one could have imagined the horror they would experience. He told the “Daily Mail” his shocking confession during his daughter’s murder trial.
It was March and Mark Jones was watching his daughter ride a scooter in the park. Emily’s mother Sara was running in the park that afternoon, and Mark and Emily were planning to see her run before buying ice cream.
– I remember saying to Emily “Come on show me your fastest lap”, because I measured her time as she drove from one end of the park to the other. Then I said, “Okay, we’re going to see Mom, so we’ll go get ice cream.” And she said, “Yeah, great.” And that was it – said Mark in an exclusive interview for the “Daily Mail”.
What happened next transformed the tranquil Victorian park into an almost unimaginable scene of horror and ruined the lives of Mark and his family forever.
Emily saw Sarah running down the hill and said excitedly, “Dad, dad. I want to go to my mom’s house! Mark replied ‘Of course’ and she ran through the park.
But when Emily rushed over to Sarah, yelling “Mom, Mom, Mom!” To get her attention, a lone figure sitting on a bench jumped up, grabbed her by the neck and cut her throat with a knife.
Sarah, who was wearing headphones, did not see or hear Emily and kept running, unaware of the horrible scene that was happening nearby. Mark, who was 200 meters away, initially thought that his daughter had fallen off the scooter and that the person holding Emily was helping her up, until a nearby woman yelled, “She was stabbed!”
He ran towards his seriously injured daughter, but his psychotic attacker Emily had already thrown him to the ground and fled. Mark hugged Emily from behind and yelled for help.
– I ran for Emily. I was absolutely terrified. I just knew it was so bad. Such things do not survive. I just thought, “My God, I’m going to lose her, I’m going to lose her.” “I screamed, ‘Stay with me Emily, stay with me. Don’t leave me,'” she said.
Emily tried to catch her breath.
– It was horrible. I would not like anyone to see that this happens to their own daughter. Every now and then I go back to that day. I try not to do that. But I can only remember how he tried to breathe. “I thought, ‘This isn’t happening. This can’t happen to Emily,'” she said.
He called Sara, who was running through the park and was not aware of the tragedy. Passersby helped him stop the bleeding from the boy’s wounds.
The girl was rushed to the hospital, but she was not saved, she died after half an hour.
Last week his killer, Albanian Eltiona Skana, a paranoid schizophrenic, was convicted of murder, a felony. Prosecutors dropped the murder charge on the seventh day of the trial in Manchester court.
Mark blames the staff at the mental health facility for allowing a dangerous psychotic woman to go free and kill her daughter. She is surprised that no more effort was made to verify whether she was taking antipsychotics and that she was only evaluated once every three months before Emila’s death.
– They knew that he was not taking medication, but they allowed him to take it arbitrarily. That is fun to do. It was a time bomb – he said.
He said that his injured daughter was a wonderful girl.
– People always brag about their kids, but honestly, I couldn’t look for a better young person than Emily. She was an amazing soul, so warm, full of life, she loved everything, she never complained, she loved going to school. She had a great sense of humor and was very funny. Brilliant character for such a little girl – he said.
