IT consultant Bob Dowler, 56, and his wife Sally, a 48-year-old teacher, spoke as Surrey police launched a new appeal for information.

The couple's statement said: "Six years ago our beautiful daughter Milly was callously murdered.

"Not a day passes when we don't think of her. Our lives have been in turmoil and the effects on our family and friends have been devastating. Some days even the smallest of tasks seem insurmountable.

"We feel as if our lives have been destroyed and all we can do is try not to let the pain and anger overwhelm us. There are times when we don't succeed.

"In 2006 Milly would have been 18. All her birthdays are anguish for us but this was particularly hard to bear and made us think what could have been. As her friends go off to university and carry on with their lives we wonder about what she might have studied, the boyfriends she might have had, the places she might have lived; above all, how her many dreams and aspirations may have unfolded.

"Thankfully during her short life we had wonderful times and we treasure our many happy memories. Our lovely Milly was a beautiful, vivacious, kind-natured 13-year-old girl.

"She always had a little twinkle in her eye. Milly was a loved and loving daughter and sister.

"We are pleading for anyone who knows anything to have the courage to speak up. Nothing will ever bring Milly back but, even six years on, you can still help start easing our pain by letting us know, finally, what happened."
