2000 Murder of Victoria Climbié 1 London 8-year-old Ivorian girl , Victoria Adjo Climbié ( 2 November 1991 - 25 February 2000 ) , was tortured and murdered by her guardians ( including her aunt ) , who were found guilty of murder and jailed for life the following year . Her death led to a public inquiry and produced major changes in child protection policies in England
2000 Murder of Sarah Payne 1 East Preston , West Sussex , England Sarah Payne , a seven-year-old girl from Surrey , was abducted and murdered by convicted child sex offender Roy Whiting in Littlehampton , West Sussex , in July 2000 . Her body was found 15 miles away just over two weeks later . Whiting was found guilty of her murder in December 2001 and sentenced to life imprisonment , with the judge saying that it was a rare case in which a life sentence should mean life . The trial judge 's recommendation was later replaced by a 50-year minimum term by the Home Office , just before politicians were stripped of their powers to decide when or if a life sentence prisoner could apply for parole . Whiting 's sentence has since been set at a 40-year minimum term by the High Court , which means that Whiting can not be considered for parole until the age of 82 . At the end of the trial , it was revealed that he already had a previous conviction for abduction and indecent assault on an eight-year-old girl in 1995 , and that he was on the sex offenders register
2000 Murder of Damilola Taylor 1 Peckham , London While on his way from Peckham Library , 10-year-old Nigerian-born Damilola Taylor was found with a cut to his left thigh and bled to death within a half hour before arriving at a local hospital .

2001 Torso in the Thames case 1 River Thames , London A human torso discovered floating in the River Thames on 21 September 2001 was eventually revealed to be the remains of a recently arrived Nigerian boy , between the ages of four and seven . Although the child is thought to be a victim of a ritual killing , the London Metropolitan Police Service have yet to apprehend those responsible . The identity of the torso has never been established
2001 Murder of Danielle Jones 1 East Tilbury , Essex , England The conviction of 15-year-old Jones ' uncle Stuart Campbell primarily relied upon forensic authorship analysis of text messages sent on the victim 's mobile phone . Jones was last seen alive on 18 June 2001 . Her body has never been found . Five months after her disappearance , police charged Campbell with murder . He was found guilty in December 2002 and sentenced to life imprisonment as well as 10 years for abduction . After the trial , controversy arose when it was revealed Campbell had prior convictions for indecent assault on other girls of similar ages . The use of forensic authorship analysis of text messages in the case provoked research into its use in other cases . Police also found bloodstained stockings , which had traces of DNA belonging to Campbell and his niece , in the loft of Campbell 's house in Essex
2002 Murder of Amanda Dowler 1 Walton-on-Thames , Surrey , England 13-year-old Amanda Dowler went missing on her journey home from school .

Levi Bellfield , who had been convicted of two other murders and an attempted murder ( all committed after Amanda 's disappearance ) in February 2008 , was found guilty of the murder in June 2011 and received an additional life sentence . Shortly after Bellfield 's trial , it was revealed that her mobile phone had been hacked by News of the World reporters a while after she went missing , and they had deleted text messages from her inbox , giving her parents false hope that she was still alive ( it is believed that she died the same afternoon or evening that she went missing ) . These revelations , along with numerous other phone-hacking allegations , contributed to the newspaper 's closure . Rupert Murdoch , owner of the News of the World , later awarded the Dowler family £3 million in compensation
2002 Soham murders 2 Soham , Cambridgeshire , England Two ten-year-old girls , Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman , were murdered by local school caretaker Ian Huntley after luring them into his home on 4 August 2002 . The search for the two girls was one of the longest undertaken by British authorities . Their bodies were found two weeks after their disappearance and Huntley was jailed for life for the murders in December 2003 . In September 2005 , his minimum term was set at 40 years by the High Court , meaning that he can not be considered for parole until at least 2042 at the age of 68 . His partner , Maxine Carr , had been found guilty of perverting the course of justice and received a prison sentence of three-and-a-half years . She was released under a new identity in May 2004

2007 Death of Baby P 1 London Borough of Haringey , North London Peter Connelly ( also known as Baby P , Child A and Baby Peter ) was a 17-month-old boy who died in London after suffering more than 50 injuries over an eight-month period , during which he was repeatedly seen by Haringey Children 's Services and NHS health professionals . His real first name was revealed as Peter on the conclusion of a subsequent trial of the child 's mother 's boyfriend on a charge of raping a two-year-old . His full identity was revealed when his killers were named after the expiry of a court anonymity order on 10 August 2009 . His mother has since been released from prison . The case caused shock and concern among the public and in Parliament , partly because of the magnitude of Peter 's injuries , and because he lived in the London Borough of Haringey , under the same child care authorities that had already failed ten years earlier in the case of Victoria Climbié . This had led to a public enquiry which resulted in measures being put in place in an effort to prevent similar cases happening
2007 Murder of Rhys Jones 1 Liverpool , England 11-year-old Rhys Milford Jones was murdered on 22 August 2007 in Liverpool , England , when he was fatally shot in the neck .

The members of the gang were later jailed for life . His sister , Brooke Kinsella , an actress whose credits include a role in EastEnders , has since been at the centre of a media campaign against knife crime

He then inflicted a 'horrific catalogue of sexual injuries ' on Tia before stabbing her in the stomach and strangling her with a ligature made from a guitar string . Maden then dialled 999 to admit the killing ; when asked why , he said because I felt like it . Arrested and charged with rape and murder , he pleaded guilty on 4 October 2010 and was sentenced to life ; and was told that , due to the sheer depravity of his crime and the agony and terror Tia must have suffered , he should never be released
