The mother of Louise Smith, 16, said in a heart-wrenching statement that Shane Mays went to her house on the day he killed her daughter and looked her in the eyes with no remorse
Mum says 'evil monster' who killed daughter, 16, looked her in eyes 'with no remorse'
The devastated mother of a teenage girl murdered by her uncle says the 'monster' killer looked her in the eye with no remorse.
Shane Mays, 30, was today jailed for life to serve a minimum of 25 years at Winchester Crown Court for the brutal murder of 16-year-old Louise Smith.
The defendant, described by prosecutors as "predatory", lured Louise to a secluded spot in Havant Thicket where he killed her with "breathtaking brutality".
He repeatedly punched her in the face, causing her fatal injuries, defiled her and burned her body, which was found 13 days later following a major police search.
Louise's mum said on the day Mays killed her daughter he went to her house and "looked her in the eyes with no remorse when he knew what he had done was pure evil".
Rebbecca Cooper said the traumatic way he killed Louise was beyond words, branding him a monster.

She says she cannot sleep, she cannot eat and her life is "a mess".
Louise's mum and dad have today described how their lives are in "turmoil" following the "pure evil" killing of their daughter.
In a victim impact statement read to Winchester Crown Court, Rebbecca Cooper said: "I am Louise's mum. This would be any parent's worst nightmare and now it is my nightmare. This is one of the hardest, heartbreaking things I will ever have to do.
"You have taken a part of my heart away which will never be replaced. You killed my daughter Louise in such a traumatic way but then to do what you did afterwards is beyond words. You are a monster. What gave you the right to do that?
"You have left that scarred in my mind for the rest of my life. Now every time I think of her, I see the images shown in court.
"You damaged her so bad that I didn't have a chance to say goodbye, hold her hand or even kiss her. I will never forgive you for this.

"My daughter was 16, a child just starting her life. Louise was a very strong-willed girl, happy and smiley. She would have done anything for anyone.
"She had the whole world to look forward to, college, new friends and being able to grow into the person she wanted. One of her dreams was to be a vet. She would have wanted to be a mum.
"She would have made a great mum and yes, a better one than me at times. I wasn't perfect but I was still her mum. You have taken that dream away from her and us.
"At 16 years old, her life should have started, not ended.
"You have turned my life upside down. I can't sleep, eat and my life is a mess. You did this to me, no-one else.
"You came to my house the day you killed her, looked me in the eyes with no remorse when you knew what you had done was pure evil. You have made us relive what you did to Louise.
"Louise will live on through us. The memories locked away in our hearts."

Father Bradley Smith, who is separated from Louise's mother, said: "Since this tragic event my whole life has been turned upside down, I no longer enjoy any activities I used to do.
"My interactions with other people are now rarer than ever and when they do occur they are very short-lived.
"This has resulted in me being unable to function at work. My family is in absolute turmoil and we will be for the rest of our lives.
"My mental and physical health has also been affected with being unable to sleep as I'm tortured by nightmares and I miss my little girl enormously, constantly.
"I honestly don't think I will ever recover from this.
"The best I can hope for is to cope better and I'm positive my family feel the same way. Louise was a beautiful daughter and I have been robbed of what was to be my time with her."

Louise's stepfather Richard O'Shea said: "I am Louise's stepfather and her mother's fiance. What you have done has destroyed my life.
"I may only be Louise's stepdad but for nine years she has grown up with me and her mum Becky. She had grown up into such a beautiful and smart young lady and it was a pleasure to call her my stepdaughter.
"We were going to be celebrating her 17th in August but you took that away from her and us too. Becky and I are engaged and Louise was so excited to be a bridesmaid. She had even picked out her dress for the occasion. You took that away from her.
"I hate seeing my fiancee cry every night because she won't see her daughter walk through our front door again. We won't get to hear her laugh or smile. You even tried to stop Louise from seeing us.
"You have made me physically sick with what you have done. I can no longer eat. I find it very hard to sleep in the night due to the nightmares which cause me to sleep-in very late into the morning.
"I can't talk to anyone about how I am feeling. I hardly go out but when I manage to get out I panic leaving Becky on her own.
"Our life is now on hold and has left a large void. Because of this our family are struggling and it feels like we are being torn apart at the seams. You have wrecked our lives and made it hell."
Image: PA) PA)
The Crown Prosecution Service worked closely with partners from Hampshire Constabulary to build a strong case against Mays, using CCTV evidence, mobile phone data and forensic analysis to prove that he alone was responsible for murdering Louise in horrific circumstances.
Kate Anderson, CPS Wessex Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor, said: “Louise was a vulnerable teenager who sought care and support from Mays and his partner when she most needed it. Mays completely broke that trust by taking Louise into the woods, abusing and killing her.
"The weight of the prosecution evidence against Mays proved his series of lies were not true. He eventually admitted manslaughter but still attempted to suggest that he had not intended to murder her, and that he was not responsible for the extent of Louise’s injuries.
"The prosecution team worked extremely hard to build a strong case so that the jury could be sure Mays was guilty of murder, and to deliver justice for Louise and her family.”
