Straight away the smell of rotten flesh hit me, before my eyes was a green head I could see the bones in her neck. I vomited on the pavement, closed the boot and went to work as usual.

        That night Jessica Perkins was killed. She was a lonely girl with few friends, she was walking to the Grinder when it happened.

Her head was missing and on the back of her white blouse was the message in her won blood ‘Jack’s Back!’.
