Nikitta Grender: Carl Whant’s Stepping Stones

by | 11th, February 2011

NIKITTA Grender: The murder of a pregnant teenager is not front page news. Carl Whant is still helping police with their enquiries.

And the family are helping with their own enquiry on Facebook:

Her uncle, Richard Brunnock, posted: “THIS IS NIKITTAS UNCLE: TO ALL NIKITTAS FAMILY AND FRIENDS IF ANY OF U SAW HER BETWEEN MONDAY 31ST AND FRIDAY NIGHT PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA INBOX WITH WHEN U SAW HER AND WHAT SHE WAS WEARING THIS IS A FORWARDED MSG FROM KITTAS PARENTS.”

The media speculation has been almost non-existent. Nikitta Grender is either deemed to be not the type of victim who gels with the readers – she’s no Joanna Yeates – or else the press are being wary after their voracious pursuit of Chris Jefferies? But the Mirror does tells us:

Teenage mum-to-be Nikitta Grender may have messaged her killer on the night she was stabbed to death.

This implies that she “may” have known her killer. And given that Carl Whant is in the frame, and he’s Ryan Mayes second cousin – Mayes was the father of Miss Grender’s unborn child and her boyfriend – readers may begin to join the dots.

Over in the Sun, the dots look more like stepping stones:

THE bouncer held over Nikitta Grender’s murder vanished from a lads’ night out just hours before she was found…

Vanished?

…cops believe.

Why do they believe that, then?

Carl Whant was drinking with her boyfriend Ryan Mayes and pals last Friday night when he allegedly left to buy cigs – but did not return.

Any other suspects:

DETECTIVES hunting the killer of teenage mum-to-be Nikitta Grender have released pictures of four people they want to speak to.

The CCTV images show them walking near the 19-year-old’s flat on the night she was stabbed before her home was set ablaze.

The case goes on…
