THESE heartbreaking final images of April Jones show the little five-year-old playing at a local leisure centre – just hours before she disappeared.
One shows her dressed in a white t-shirt and black trousers, holding a pink bag, as she walks alone down a corridor.
April is then seen leaving the centre at around 5.30pm - around 90 minutes before she was reported missing
Hours later, April had disappeared after “getting into a car with a man”, according to her mum’s statement read in court.
Mark Bridger, accused of abducting and murdering schoolgirl April, appeared in court today for the fourth day of the murder trial.
'Playful' ... April is seen leaving the leisure centre at around 5.30pm
The court was later shown a CCTV image of Bridger’s Land Rover driving past a local garage at 7.20pm.
The next day a helicopter looking for the missing girl zoomed in on Bridger who was seen walking his dog outside his cottage.
The jury was asked to note that there was smoke coming from the chimney of his house.
Earlier the court heard how bone fragments, thought to be from a “juvenile skull”, were found in his woodburner.
Burning ... jury were told to note smoke coming out of Bridger's chimney
The jury also heard of the frantic moments when the parents of April learned that their daughter was missing.
Mum Coral revealed she had tried to stop April going to play with friends, but she had had a tantrum, so they had allowed her out.
She then told how she had sent her son out to get April in and he returned in a “hysterical state” after hearing she had got into a man’s car.
On realising April had disappeared, Coral became “frantic” and scoured the estate, even looking “in the bins” for her missing daughter.
