April's parents: Bridger home is 'House from Hell'

April Jones' parents have told me how important it is to be here today for the final demolition of her killer's house.

It's opened my wounds up again - it's the House from Hell. Bad memories will always be here in your heart, but it will help the other people to heal, and the community looking onto the evil house - it'll be gone.

We just take each day, each hour, each minute as it comes.

We'll always remember April as a happy, energetic girl - smiling, singing - that's how we'll remember her.

– Coral Jones, April's mother

For now, this is one chapter closed.

Our local community has been brilliant. To be honest, without them, I don't know how we could have done it.

I don't see how we could move anywhere else - if we start running, when do we stop?

– Paul Jones, April's father

Mr and Mrs Jones also said they did not want the house to be a 'memorial site' to their daughter.
