Alice Gross' mother tells of grief and anger at her murder

The parents of murdered schoolgirl Alice Gross have spoken of their huge loss at an emotional public memorial service for their daughter.

Alice's mother Ros Hodgkiss and father Jose Gross spoke to hundreds of well-wishers who had queued in driving rain to attend the humanist service in Greenford, west London.

Many in the congregation were left in tears as two songs recorded by 14-year-old Alice, a talented singer, were played at the service.

ITV News Senior Correspondent Emma Murphy reports:

Her mother told the congregation:

The memorial service at Greenford Town Hall, Middlesex was held just over a week after Alice's family held a funeral for the schoolgirl.

Alice's body was found in the River Brent in west London on September 30, four weeks after she disappeared.

The prime suspect in her murder, Latvian national and convicted killer Arnis Zalkalns, was found hanged on October 4.

Alice's disappearance sparked an outpouring of support around Hanwell, where she lived with her parents and elder sister, Nina.
