Schoolboy Killer: Ex-Girlfriend Murdered For A Free Breakfast
A 15 year old girl went to meet her ex boyfriend hoping to win him back. He'd been planning her murder for months. His friends thought he was joking. He wasn't.
Maesteg, South Wales. October 24th, 2010.
The body of 15 year old Rebecca Aylwood was found in woodland.
She had suffered violent and repeated blows to the head.
It was a severe attack. As a parent, it's your worst nightmare.
Rebecca had last been seen on her way to meet her ex boyfriend.
His name was Joshua Davies. He was also 15.
She thought they were getting back together.
I have no doubt about that. She would have been over the moon.
For her there was romance in the air.
But at the very same time, Davies was planning to kill her.
Rebecca was born February 28th, 1995. Everyone called her Becca.
Becca was gorgeous. Kind. Intelligent. Funny. Always laughing.
She wanted to be a barrister. It was all about doing something worthwhile.
She was incredibly close to her mum Sonja and her younger siblings.
Her parents were divorced. It was just Sonja and the three kids.
And like many teenage girls, Rebecca was falling in love.
Josh got on really well with the family. He was almost part of it.
He was witty. Personable. Great fun to be around.
But their relationship wasn't always smooth.
On and off. Always those two. But more often broken up than together.
She would spar with him. She had the intelligence to take him on.
He was used to people who adored him and hung off his every word.
She wasn't that.
