The father of India Chipchase has said there should be no possibility of another woman falling into the hands of her killer.

Northamptonshire Police have released a video of Jeremy Chipchase reading a victim impact statement, which was shown during the two-week trial.

52-year-old Edward Tenniswood was today (Tuesday 2 August) found guilty of India's rape and murder, after finding her in a drunken state outside a Northampton nightclub.

A jury took just one hour and 45 minutes to convict him.

"I sincerely hope there's no possibility that another woman ever falls into the hands of my daughter's murderer.

Speaking from a father's perspective, I do not want any other father to hear that their daughter's gone missing like I did - and then for them to hear that she's been found dead.

No other father will have to see their daughter's body in the mortuary and be told that they are unable to touch her or kiss her one last time."
