THE parents and brother of murdered teenager Nikitta Grender yesterday solemnly laid flowers and a teddy bear outside the house in which she was stabbed to death.

Marcia and Paul Grender, along with Miss Grender's younger brother Luke, made their first trip to the flat in Broadmead Park since their 19-year-old daughter was found dead on Saturday morning following a blaze.

The trio left their tributes before looking over the dozens of others which have piled up for their daughter. After a few minutes at the scene, they walked away cuddling each other.
