April's parent: 'Huge relief' now 'house of hell' is gone The parents of murdered April Jones have spoken of their "huge relief" now that the home of her killer, Mark Bridger, has been demolished. Calling it a "house of hell," Paul and Coral Jones said they needed to see the cottage destroyed. The property is believed to be the location where convicted killer Bridger murdered the five-year-old in October 2012. April's parents, who wanted the building flattened, said coming to the site had "opened a wound" but said April's spirit "can now be free."
