“You just don’t think things like this will happen in a place like this.”
“It was a barbaric attack and is shocking to think someone involved in it may have lived her in Saxilby.”
Another resident, who did not wish to be named, said they couldn’t believe it when they heard the news.
“This is a quiet, peaceful place. Not a place connected with terrorism.”
