Father 'drowned six-year-old daughter in bath after texting wife to say he'd leave her something to remember him

Hundreds of mourners were brought to tears yesterday evening as a town united in grief held a moving vigil for a Disney-mad six-year-old girl who is said to have been drowned in the bath by her father after he texted his wife to say he would leave her something by which to remember him.

Keziah Flux-Edmonds, who dreamed of being Elsa from Frozen, was found lying unconscious next to the body of Darren Flux-Edmonds, 44, at home on the Isle of Wight on Wednesday.
After allegedly murdering his daughter, Flux-Edmonds is thought to have hanged himself and killed the family's two dogs months after splitting from his wife of 12 years Nikki, 48. 

Keziah, described as a little 'Disney princess' who 'wanted to be Elsa from Frozen when she grew up', was rushed to hospital after being found by paramedics but could not be saved.
Flowers, cards and cuddly toys - including her other Disney favourites Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck - have been laid outside the detached house where she died.
Around 200 mourners, some crying and hugging each other as well as lighting candles, attended an emotional vigil outside Keziah's home this evening. 
Keziah's favourite song - 'Roar' by Katy Perry - was played twice at the service. 
The little girl's teacher, Mrs Attwell, and a vicar both spoke at the vigil.
