'Kind-hearted' victim 'got in with wrong crowd'

Murdered prostitute Anneli Alderton was today described as a “kind-hearted girl” who turned to drugs and prostitution after getting in with the “wrong crowd”.

A woman who works as an escort and gave her name as Emma said she had known Miss Alderton, 24, for about seven years and the pair had spent time together in prison for drugs-related offences.
