Friends and family of murdered teenager Jayden Parkinson hope to create a new memorial garden for her.

The 17-year-old was killed by her ex-boyfriend Ben Blakeley in December 2013 and her body was found in a churchyard.

Her mum, Samantha Shrewsbury, has now revealed she intends to create a space for reflection in memory of her daughter.

She hopes it will be placed close to the churchyard when Jayden's body was discovered near to her home in Didcot, Oxfordshire.

It is said to include a bench, edible flowers and a stone plaque.

Jayden used to live in Folkestone before her family moved away but she was finally laid to rest at St Martin's in Cheriton.

Ben Blakeley was found guilty of her murder last July.

His younger brother, Jake, was also tried for preventing a lawful burial but jurors failed to reach a verdict. A retrial is due to go ahead later this month.
