06/09/97 - Sophie Hook case
man to appeal
The Daily Telegraph
The man jailed for life for the rape and murder of seven-year-old
Sophie Hook, was given leave in the Appeal Court yesterday
to appeal against his conviction.
Howard Hughes, 32, was convicted at Chester Crown Court
last year of taking Sophie from the garden of her uncle's
home in Llandudno, Gwynedd, where she had been sharing
a tent with her sister and two cousins. Her body was
found on a nearby beach next morning.
