HELP FIND
ABIGAIL'S KILLER
Devastated twin’s appeal
after hit-and-run tragedy
THE grieving twin of a woman killed by a hit-and-run driver
has appealed to readers of the Camden New Journal to help catch
the heartless driver.
Abigail Moore, 25, a former Parliament Hill schoolgirl who lived
in Hampstead with her boyfriend, died of serious head injuries
when a car ran into her on Thursday.
Her twin sister Bonnie told the New Journal her family were
desperate for information to help catch the person responsible.
She said: “We can’t believe Abigail has gone. We are
all devastated beyond words. Some one must know something about
what happened. It is awful to know the person who is responsible
is out there while we are grieving.”
Abigail, who worked for the Farringdon Housing Association,
was on her way to view a house when the accident happened.
She was hit by a car described by police as a small and dark
coloured, with possibly two people inside, as she crossed Lower
Clapton Road, at Hackney junction, at 5.40pm on Thursday.
Abigail was rushed to the Royal London hospital in Whitechapel
but lost her fight for life at around 1am the following morning.
Police say the front of the car that killed Abigail would have
been damaged. It sped off north towards Clapton on the Lower
Clapton Road without stopping after hitting Abigail.
Abigail, who was well-known among former pupils at the Highgate
Road school for her out going nature and had settled with her
boyfriend Alexis Herodotou in Hampstead, was waiting for results
from exams she had sat in January at the North London Metropolitan
University in Holloway Road. She had been studying sociology
and had completed her final module. She was waiting to see if
she had passed when she was run over.
Her sister continued: “We went to Thailand and Cambodia
over Christmas. While we were in Cambodia, we went to an orphanage
and taught children the English alphabet. Abi was so patient
and she enjoyed it so much she decided to apply for a post-graduate
teaching course. She could deal with anybody and I think it
helped her decide she wanted to work with children.”
And now as her parents Jeremy and Cheryl try to come to terms
with her death, police want anyone with information to contact
investigators at Euston Traffic Garage on 020 7321 9913. |
