CHILLING footage shows the last moments of 13-year-old Lucy McHugh before she was allegedly stabbed to death by a carer who had sexually abused her.
Today, investigator Stephen Dicker talked the court through the videos, captured by 211 different cameras across Southampton, which he said had been carefully pored over for a “considerable amount of time.”Cops closely inspected footage of Nicholson riding his bike, which he would often do without his hands on the handlebars, so they could track him.
Mr Dicker said: "The bag is no longer attached to the handlebars, it is being carried by the rider, and it doesn't appear to be as full now as it was in previous images. When interviewed by police, he told them Lucy had demanded a meeting with him, telling him she was pregnant.Nicholson, who worked as a tattoo artist and a carer, is alleged to have a “sexual interest” in underage girls.He was a lodger at Lucy's mother Stacey White and stepfather Richard Elmes' home in Southampton.
During the hours after the attack, Nicholson is then alleged to have started using a new mobile phone and hid his old one, reset his Facebook password and lit a bonfire to destroy the trainers he was wearing.
