Schoolgirl killer Zbigniew Huminski (left) did not offer a word of remorse as he was indicted for the kidnap, rape and murder of Chloe (right) News of his appalling crime shocked the country and on Saturday more than 6,000 took to the streets of Calais on Saturday to form a quarter of a mile long 'White March' to pay tribute to Chloe. Many of those marching for Chloe were her friends at the Balzac Dance Club where last January she had performed in a show with them to raise money for the Red Cross, which helps migrants. Huminski has a long criminal record in France and Poland, including once attacking a frail woman of 78 with a knife in her home. The career criminal was sentenced to a year behind bars in March, but under the rules in Poland, he was supposed to take himself to jail. Instead, he hit the road for France and, under the EU's free movement rules, there was nothing to stop him driving across Europe. Despite being banned from France for his earlier offences, Huminski was on his way to see his sister in Southampton last Wednesday when he 'stopped for a beer' in Calais. He then carried out the attack on Chloe while drunk. Hundreds attended the funeral of the Calais schoolgirl who was killed in a brutal crime that shocked the country .

Speaking in the town hall, he said: 'I saw a red car in the bushes and realised it was the car the police were looking for, so I called the police and three officers turned up.

'I went upstairs for five minutes to change her little brother,' said Miss Hyart, an unemployed single mother. 'As it was a nice day, she wanted to play with her friend in the playground.' She said she left another adult, the stepfather of one of Chloe's friends, to watch over the children. 'When I came down with my two other kids, he said straight away: 'Someone's taken Chloe'. He said he didn't know who, that he didn't know him. 'I then went round the building shouting Chloe's name. She was still there – I saw her, lying on the ground, hidden behind the dustbins.

'Above all, I don't know when or how I'm going to tell her little sister and her little brother. They're only five and four, and I don't know how they're going to understand. 'I'm going to tell them that she's gone to heaven, that she'll be with my father, who I lost last year.' Officers were called at 3.30pm and by around 5pm, Chloe's lifeless body had been discovered three miles away in the Dubrulle Wood. Until a few weeks ago, it was the site of a large immigrant camp, made up of mainly men trying to get aboard ferries sailing to the south coast of England. Such camps are regularly razed by the French authorities, with the migrants moved on. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls called for a full investigation in to Huminski's past, saying Chloe's family deserved the 'whole truth'. Christine Taubira, the justice minister, also demanded a 'complete, precise and rapid' investigation.'
