2 November 1991:
Victoria Adjo Climbie is born near Abidjan, the Ivory Coast.

November 1998:
Seven-year-old Victoria Adjo Climbie leaves Abobo in the Ivory Coast to lives with her aunt,
Marie-Therese Kouao initially in Paris. Kouao takes the girl to London after she is pursued by
French authorities over benefit payments.

April - June 1999:
On arrival in England, Victoria's name is given as Anna because of the assumed identity on the
false passport used to get her into Europe.

Kouao takes a job as a hospital cleaner and the pair initially live in a hostel in north London.
Some weeks later Victoria is on a bus with her aunt when they meet Carl Manning, the driver, for the
first time.

July 1999:
Kouao and Victoria, who speaks no English, move into Carl Manning's home in Tottenham, north
London. Within days, Victoria would be suffering abuse at the hands of Carl Manning. That abuse
would lead to her torture and death.

14 July 1999:

Kouao: Pretended to care for Victoria
Victoria makes her first visit to the Central Middlesex Hospital after the daughter of her
childminder suspects the girl has non-accidental injuries. The doctor accepts Kouao's story
that Victoria has inflicted the wounds on herself by scratching at scabies sores.

During this period, doctors alert child protection authorities as a precaution. Haringey social
worker Lisa Arthurworrey and PC Karen Jones are assigned to the case. They later cancel a home visit
scheduled for 4 August after hearing about the scabies.

24 July 1999:
Victoria is taken to North Middlesex Hospital's casualty department with scalding to her head
and face. Doctors immediately suspect that the injuries have been deliberately inflicted.

Kouao tells Lisa Arthu4worrey and PC Jones that she poured hot water over Victoria to try and stop
her scratching her scalp. She says that Victoria caused other injuries with utensils.

6 August 1999:
Victoria is discharged from the hospital and is collected by Kouao after her explanation for the
injuries is accepted by child protection authorities.

October 1999
Trial evidence reveals that from October 1999 until the following January, Carl Manning forces
Victoria to sleep in a bin liner in the bath every night at this flat.

1 November 1999L:
Kouao tells social workers that Carl Manning has sexually assaulted Victoria. She withdraws the
accusation the next day. PC Jones is asked to investigate why but takes no further action after her
letter to Kouao remains unanswered.

24 February 2000
Victoria is rushed to North Middlesex Hospital suffering from a combination of malnutrition and
hypothermia. Doctors later transfer her to an intensive care ward at St Mary's Hospital in west
London.

25 February 2000:
Victoria is declared dead at 3.15pm at St Mary's Hospital.

Dr Nathaniel Carey, the Home Office pathologist who examines her body, finds 128 separate injuries
and scars, many of them cigarette burns, and describes them as "the worst case of child abuse
I've encountered".

It's night time again...
Beautiful Angel above
So tonight I will send you lots of love

Cuddle up warm..
On this November night
We all love and miss you..
With all of our might

You sleep on the clouds..
All fluffy and white
I bet you look..
Such a beautiful sight

Just snuggle up..
All cosy with God above
And watch me light..
Your candle with love

Lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face
Be rest assured you will be safe
In this place

The sweetest gift
God has given me
Graced with the tiniest beauty
These eyes have seen
Soft as the song of a winter wind
Sheltered by love
A love that will never end

Life so often a mystery
And each of us seeking a clue
To an answer I never thought I’d find
When I lost you
But in your time with me
Somehow you taught me to see
Just as in life
Even in death
You always will be here with me

So lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
And on to your maker you will fly
Low as the angels sing you a lullaby

My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...

***********

I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...

***********

I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...

***********

I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...

***********

I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...

***********

You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...

**********

I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...

Precious Child

by Karen Taylor Good

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

***THE GARDEN OF PROMISE***
There is a place, I have been told,
Beyond an open gate
All have been invited
Where friends and loved ones wait

It holds eternal promise
Of everlasting peace
No pain or sorrow ever comes
And teardrops there have ceased

Abundant life is evident
Constant, fresh and new
A garden of provision
With eternity in view

The promise is awaiting
A place we can abide
Fulfilled for all who answer
The call to come inside.
