This is Sharon Carr.

She is known as one of the youngest female killers in Britain.
Growing up, she saw her mother and her boyfriend wind up in the hospital a couple of times mostly due to injuries from a violent fight they had engaged in.
Publicly, she did not (initially) display any unusual behavior. Secretly, she started experimenting with killing neighborhood pets.
One time, her mother noticed that Sharon was drawing disturbing pictures depicting violence.

Later, her mother felt too overwhelmed to handle Sharon, and decided to put her in foster care.
But turns out, Sharon didn't do too well there, and after a short period returned home feeling doubly rejected and angry.
One night, Sharon was out cruising the streets, in the company of two boys. It was around 2am.

She was just 12 YEARS OLD.

Maybe her mother hadn't set any boundaries, or if she had, they were not enforced or Sharon simply didn't care to follow them.
On this night, Sharon spotted a young distraught 18-year-old hairdresser named Katie Rackliff, who had just suffered a break-up with her ex-boyfriend.

Sharon offered her a ride home.
Instead of pulling through on her initial offer, Sharon and her accomplices drove Rackliff out into an empty area. Rackliff, who had grown nervous and suspicious, fled the car, with Sharon immediately on her tail.
Before Rackliff could flee the scene, Sharon withdrew a blade and stabbed Rackliff approximately 32 times in the breasts, anus, and genetalia before disrobing the woman and abandoning her body.
The next morning, Katie was found dead, with 30+ stab wounds. Her breasts and genitalia had been mutilated. Police thought it was a rape crime and the case went unsolved for 2 years.
On the exact same date of Katie's stabbing, two years later, Sharon stabbed a fellow school mate and was arrested for it. Police found Sharon's diaries, which made for horrific reading, and uncovered the truth about Katie's death.
Sharon had written about Katie: “I wish I could kill her again…” She went on to recount how the act of stabbing and killing gave her a rush of sexual pleasure.
Another entry read: “Oh damn. I've got a taste for red rum. And god do I want to get drunk.” Did I mention she was just 12 years old when this killing happened?

If you have, tell me. Let me continue my story
Okay, Sharon was charged, found guilty and imprisoned for the murder. In prison, she proved too difficult for the prison staff to handle.
While in jail, she disclosed thoughts of wanting to murder another inmate by splitting her head open with a flask and throwing her down the stairs to snap her neck.

She was transferred to a high security mental health institution where she remains to date.
This is Sharon leaving Kingston crown court after her conviction.
Now tell me.

What kind of mental disturbance would make a girl of 12 engage in random acts of violence and commit such a savage murder? Sharon didn't know Katie. She wasn't provoked. And the fact that she went on to make the murder look like a sex crime is even more disturbing.
She never showed remorse for what she did.

When she was 21, she married a fellow inmate - Robbie Layne, she met at the high security mental institution she was being held in.

Her husband of choice had killed his own mother by gouging her eyes out.
The couple bumped into each other during a recreation period at the mental hospital.

Since then they have had regular, supervised hour-long meetings during which they are allowed to kiss and cuddle.

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️
The pair got married in the chapel of the Berkshire hospital.

Carr, 21, and Layne, 24, were escorted into the chapel, where they stood side-by-side.

The ceremony, which was attended by several other patients who have become close friends of the couple, lasted just 20 minutes.
Relatives attended. But the couple were not be allowed to consummate the marriage. 😂😂
