Murder of Karen Hales


On 21 November 1993 21-year-old Karen Hales was at her home on Lavenham Road, Ipswich, England. She shared the home with her 18-month-old daughter and partner Peter Ruffles. On this day there were at least 2 inches of snow on the ground, but it wasn't exceptionally cold. By 4 p.m. Karen was home alone with her daughter as Peter left to go to work at 3:50.

Around 4 p.m. Karen's parents came to Peter's work to talk about a problem with their car. While talking to Peter he'd mentioned that Karen was alone with their daughter and her parents decided they'd drop by.

Around 4:40 pm. Karen's parents stopped by the house and entered through the unlocked front door. Instead of their daughter welcoming them they were greeted with the smell of smoke. They went to the kitchen and found the cause. Someone had killed and set her body on fire. It had turned out Karen was stabbed to death. It was found that her purse was missing along with two Laser knives.
