This
is a terrible tragedy and I can only hope that someday the victim's parents
find some peace and closure. The girls killed this 16 year old because they
didn't want to be her friend anymore. Read the article below for more details.
A West Virginia teen has pleaded guilty tomurdering her high school classmate and former best friend.
Sheila Eddy, 18, was slated to face trial next week in the death of 16-year-old Skylar Neese, whom she and another girl, Rachel Shoaf, stabbed to death in July 2012. Eddy was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 15 years.
The victim's father, Dave Neese, tearfully addressed the court Friday, saying, “We are no longer a family. You can see the faces of the killer, but you can’t see Skylar’s face. You can’t imagine how Mary and I now feel.”
According to a statement by Shoaf, she and Eddy killed Neese because they "didn’t want to be friends with her anymore," West Virginia Metro News reported.
“It was a conspiracy to rid themselves of their friend,” Monongalia County prosecuting attorney Marcia Ashdown said, according to the publication. Ashdown said that Eddy and Shoaf plotted to kill Neese because they feared she would "divulge their secrets," but did not elaborate on what those secrets may have been.
According to the paper, the prosecutor implied that the murderers may have had a lesbian relationship.
