it was something that i sort of remembered from my childhood, but i wasn't sure. the article about the 90 year old secretary sparked it up again

He murdered a friend of mine, Wanda Skala (at Lily Lane school) as she was walking home on a Friday night after working as barmaid at the Lightbowne Hotel.He had a woman accomplice (whose name I don't recall). They bludgeoned her to death with a paving stone and bit her nipple to make it seem sexually motivated. I was naturally horrified and her murder has haunted me for a long time. Wanda was a really smart and athletic girl - a karate expert, as well. like her older sister, Christine. When they announced Hardy as the murderer I was doubly shocked as I remember he used to live door to an ex-boyfriend of mine. I never saw the guy, but my ex talked frequently about his "weird" neighbour. I think he was dark haired and not bad looking if I recall from the Manchester Evening news photos. I've lived in the USA since 1982 btw

wanda skala is the name i remember, was it about 1971/2
near harpurhey market

I'm not sure of the year. I know it was summer time and I was about 17 so it had to have been 73.
She was found on some derelict ground on Lightbowne Road near its junction at Thorpe Road and Church Street in Moston, not too far from where she (and I) lived. It was terrible how the police notified her father about her death. When they went to his door the dad said "I'm going to kill her for staying out all night" and the cops said "You won't have to - someone already did" - that was in the newspaper the day after she was murdered. Btw, she was into judo, not karate, as I mis-mentioned earlier.

trevor joseph hardy murdered my daughter Janet Lesley Stewart on New Year's Eve 1974. He also murdered Wanda Skala and Sharon Mossoph. The years do not dull our pain and if a book has been written terryc101 we too would like to know. We hope Hardy is still rotting in Wakefield Prison but if he has been released then I do not want to know. God Bless my Lesley.

I was a friend of Sharon Mossoph's family. she was a great girl, really sweet and friendly. I've been trying to get in touch with her family for years if anyone knows of their whereabouts? I've also tried to find any information about the Trevor Hardy case, but strangely enough there is not a thing about him, even though he was considered as a serial killer!

I grew up in the same neighbourhood as Trevor Hardy, I remember the killings, and his subsequent conviction. But since then I have heard nothing. Whether or not he is still incarcerated, I don't know. Hardy was the scourge of the neighbourhood frm an early age.
