Emily Jones – Remember Her Name
22/03/2022
Emily Jones
Two years ago today the sweet and innocent 7-year-old Emily Jones was brutally murdered by Eltiona Skana from Albania as she was playing at Queens Park in Bolton.
Emily was on her scooter playing. As she rode past a wooden bench, Eltiiona who was sitting on the bench suddenly jumped up and attacked Emily, stabbing her in the neck, causing catastrophic injury. Emily was rushed to Salford Royal Hospital, but despite their best efforts to save Emily, she didn’t make it and sadly died.
Killer Eltiona has shown absolutely no remorse whatsoever for her horrendous crime.
Eltiona pled guilty to the lesser included offence of manslaughter on the grounds of ‘diminished responsibility on 6th November 2020. Yet again it is ‘mental health’ problems.
After an emotional trial at Minshull Street Crown Court from the 26th of November to the 4th of December, the charge of murder was withdrawn by the prosecution and the jury was directed to formally return a not guilty verdict for murder.
On the 8th of December, Eltiona was given a life sentence, with a minimum term of eight years, for the conviction of manslaughter.
On 26th January 2021, Eltiona’s minimum sentence was increased to 10 years and eight months, with the presiding judge stating the previous minimum sentence had been “calculated in error”.
As a nation, we must always remember the innocent victims of these horrendous crimes.
Emily was described as a fun, loving young girl full of joy and laughter.
