The funerals of murdered schoolgirls Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells have taken place.

A service for Jessica, whose family asked for her body to be cremated, was held yesterday and her best friend Holly was buried today.

Cambridgeshire Police confirmed that the funerals had taken place but said the families had requested that no information should be revealed about them.

"Both funerals were strictly private affairs," a spokeswoman said.

Holly and Jessica, who both lived in Soham, vanished on Sunday, August 4.

Their bodies were discovered near an isolated track in Wangford, Suffolk, on August 17.
