Amy Leigh Barnes
A model in the making tragically dies
A bright effervescent teenage model was stabbed to death just as her career had begun to blossom, she had recently been taken on to the books of the Nemesis casting and model agency and had a bright career in modelling to look forward to.
She was also a finalist in the Miss British Isles modelling competition 2007 and in last year's UK Model of the Year competition. Known to event organisers and ALBA as a lovely and bright girl with so much ahead of her.
The devastating news that her body was found in Farnworth, near Bolton, Greater Manchester, on Saturday morning has come as a great shock to us. Anyone that has met her and known her generosity and gregarious nature will feel a sad loss as yet another young beautiful persons life is tragically snuffed out by violent knife crime.
Amy Leigh was a former pupil of the Lords Independent School in Bolton. She left school to study performing arts at Pendleton College in Salford and taught drama to young people at the Phoenix charity in Bolton. Until recently she lived with her mother, Karyn, an artist, and her stepfather, John, in Egerton, near Bolton.
In an interview with her local newspaper she said: "I want to stick with modelling now. I've been getting more work and my parents are behind me all the way."
A man aged 21 has been arrested.
A very popular young lady with all that met her as the list of friends will show on her social networking websites.
Our thoughts go with you Amy and most sincerely to your family, you will be missed by those that met and loved you.
