The Office of the Special Envoy for Women and Children has released a statement condemning 16 year old Chryslin Gladden's murder.
The statement says, quote, "Her death has left many in a state of shock and profound confusion as to how or why someone could commit such a horrific crime against a defenceless teenaged girl."
7News has learned that this evening police have detained one of her former female classmates from Wesley as a prime suspect. She and her boyfriend are believed to have been involved in the murder. We'll have more on this tomorrow.
