Woolwich death plunge teen believed to be St Paul's Cray robber
1:46pm Wednesday 11th April 2012 in News Exclusive By Robert Fisk
Shanise Paris-Goff
A TEENAGER who plunged to her death from the 17th floor of a block of flats in Woolwich yesterday is believed to be a convicted robber called Shanise Paris-Goff.
The 18-year-old woman fell from a bedroom window at a flat in Hastings House, Mulgrave Road, shortly after two plain clothes police officers entered the home.
They were there to carry out an arrest inquiry as she had breached the terms of her licence.
Police have yet to officially name the woman but it is thought she is Ms Paris-Goff, from St Paul’s Cray, who was sentenced to three years behind bars for robbery and assault in May 2009.
Ms Paris-Goff, who is also known as Sherise Steabler, was released in April last year and her parole licence was revoked three months later because she had failed to register with her probation officer, which was part of her early release conditions.
Officers said the woman was alone in a bedroom, with the door half open, when she fell.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place today.
A man who was arrested at the time on suspicion of assisting an offender has been bailed to return to a south London police station in early June pending further enquiries.

Not funny. She was only 18. The poor lamb. What a state her mind must have been in. I wish media woul stop referring to her as a thief. That was not all she was.

It seems that I can't say anything about this story, because everything has been deleted, so much for freedom of speech. Yet other people can. The NS people need to grow a pair.

Citygirl: She was convicted of theft three years ago, presumably when she was 15 - teenagers aren't known for their skillful assessments of the consequences of her actions. This is a rather sad tale all round.
Put the liberal powers that be, in their yogurt knitted cardigan of care think they are in touch with the youth, if they have been mugged, burgled or assaulted. It's like their rite of passage and no one is allowed to speak out.

'Thewall' - why are you still complaining - it would seem she, and her loved ones has paid the ultimate price! Are you not satisfied by that, is that not enough for you? As I posted earlier, her crimes did not carry the death penalty, but for some reason you have declared yourself worthy enough to judge her, and believe you me, there is only one who can do that, and you also feel that nobody has the right to remove your offensive and cruel comments. You are not her judge and thankfully we can delete your comments. Stop attacking somone who cannot defend themselves, afterall, is that not the reason you have such a grudge against this young woman!!
Look if the NS didn't delete my posts you would've seen I said 'it's sad a young life has been taken like this'
Did I make her climb out of the window?.........NO!
Did I make her rob 3 people? ...... NO!
If this was a young man and any other crime no one would care. So because A) it's a female. B) it's only robbing people with violence or the treat of, then she a little darling and we should all say what a great person she was. EEEEERRRRRRR - HELL NO!
If this was a drug dealler would you be sad ? What about a drink driver that killed a kid ? How about a granny mugger or a rapist? What about a bank robber? or a pedo ?

She has paid, she went to prison and she lost her life. What else would you have her do?
But after breaching the terms of her release by not registering with the Probation Service or turning up to any meetings, her licence was revoked three months later.
If this had been a traveller type would any of you be bothered.

However, the facts are this young girl had been evading a return to prison since the early summer of last year. I'm sorry, I have seen extracts of her facebook page reported on other media sites which indicate her attitude was kind of 'live by the sword, die by the sword'. Its also very sad that it took the police so long to trace her to Woolwich for a breach of her licence when the NS reported last July that the police knew she was a frequent visitor of that area.
I can only assume that family and friends had had no contact with her in all that time otherwise surely they would be accessory's after the fact.
And for those who persist in deleting comments - read the NS headline first. They called her a 'convicted robber' long before anyone commented here first. Many people on the forum comment (as 'The Wall' clearly states) about the poor quality of local news reporting and attention grabbing headlines. That is what it's all about.
I genuinely feel sad for anyone's grief but I also feel for the victims of horrible crimes by nasty people. 3 Years is a long sentence so if news was reported properly maybe we might draw better conclusions.
Shanise, I don't know who you were or what you might have become but I do hope one day your family may find some sense of peace.

Oh, fair enough, anyone who rights bad stuff on facebook at the age of 18 and runs from the police must die. Wow, gonna lose a lot of our teenage population..... all the rioters, illegal drivers, domestic abusers.... may as well close the prisons.
So you think it is ok for someone to rob 3 people, go on the run for 9 months, goad the Police and waste tax payers money?

I have issues with all crime, criminals and supporters of crime and criminals. You on the other hand seem to be on the criminals side.
Do the crime do the time. It's that simple. Don't start up like a bleating lamb when you get caught or the Police come knocking. Criminals only right is a fair trail.
If you had done proper research you would have seen/read that I have strong views on this subject.
In the DVD story I have made no reference to the sex of the person. Nor have I said it's ok to beat women. However if you are a criminal then take the rough with the smooth. Unlike others who are suggesting she is a ho. Here is the comment.
A DVD seller = an illegal DVD seller. So what are we meant to feel sorry for someone breaking many laws.”
You think woman criminals should be let off because they are woman. Myra Hindley would be walking around if it was up to you.
You're really really clutching at straws now.
There are two words that are lost on 99% of the population of this once great country and they're accountability and responsibility.

the wall wrote:My point was, regarding your comment, that you do not suggest for a moment how bad the man is to have done this. You seem to be saying it was a fair thing to happen. It is how it reads! I am on tbe side of justice, but not your type. The sort given out by those of rational and qualified minds. People should serve sentences. Sentences should be longer. Too many people get away with light sentences. But perspective is required here. Myra H. Killed children, her sentence reflects that, she should never see daylight again. This young girl did no more than so many others do, she was released early, which can only have besn earnt, she failed to report to probation....not murder is it, not drink driving, not child molesting, not rape...and she hid from going back to prison....silly, but still not evil. Yes she made that choice to jump, noone knows her mind. What i do not understand is what more you want or why you feel the need to attack her, she can not fight back, you should be happy!

Shenice did not deserve this and all you can do is say "Good that she died" or trash like that. How do you think her parents are feeling? What if they read this page? What if your family member died and others insult them? I don't think you would like that, do you? Now I may not have known Shenice, but I feel some pity for her. RIP Shenice-Paris Goff, May you live on in heaven.
