Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:10,030
Ambulance emergency. Is the patient
conscious and breathing?
2
00:00:10,390 --> 00:00:11,990
Yes, he is, and he's been stabbed.
3
00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:13,530
Okay, so he's been stabbed?
4
00:00:14,450 --> 00:00:17,110
Yeah, in the back. He's actually got a
chest wound.
5
00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:22,070
Is he bleeding very heavily?
6
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:24,110
Yes, he is. How old is he?
7
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:25,410
He's a teenager.
8
00:00:26,110 --> 00:00:27,910
And you say he's bleeding from his
mouth?
9
00:00:28,210 --> 00:00:31,350
He's bleeding from his mouth now, and I
think he's actually going to go into
10
00:00:31,350 --> 00:00:32,350
cardiac arrest.
11
00:00:33,130 --> 00:00:35,630
Okay, so what we need to do is start on
chest compression.
12
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:41,270
So we need to go at one, two, one, two,
one, two, one, two.
13
00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:52,350
I don't think the sense of shock will
ever really go away, given the
14
00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:53,350
nature of this case.
15
00:00:54,770 --> 00:00:58,790
It's easy at times to perhaps forget
that you're dealing with children.
16
00:01:00,910 --> 00:01:04,890
But our role as investigators is to
establish the truth.
17
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:11,890
We realised very quickly that the focus
was going to be on the digital material
18
00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:15,050
to fully understand how something like
that could happen.
19
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:27,410
I could be listening to your calls, I
could be looking at your text messages,
20
00:01:27,530 --> 00:01:30,490
I could be watching where you are right
now and you wouldn't know.
21
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,140
23,000 lines of Snapchat data.
22
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:40,760
1,980 voice notes.
23
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:44,740
That mobile phone can incriminate him.
24
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:53,520
Showing off his knife, he was 13.
25
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:56,140
There's vast amounts of data coming in.
26
00:01:56,820 --> 00:02:00,140
Everyone's waiting for the analysts to
come up with the goods.
27
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,120
You can't afford to waste a minute.
28
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:04,960
It was just chaos.
29
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:10,650
And even if you've not been told the
truth, a digital footprint can't be
30
00:02:10,650 --> 00:02:11,650
disputed.
31
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:34,290
Yeah, we're not too far out there.
32
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,280
I was driving.
33
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:44,620
You're constantly asking for more
information, and there wasn't a lot
34
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:45,620
coming through.
35
00:02:47,140 --> 00:02:50,200
Your brain thinks, well, how has a
13-year-old lad been stabbed in
36
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,420
Evergreen on a Sunday afternoon?
37
00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:04,980
You have people with buggies, you have
people with dog walking.
38
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,840
I'm seeing something that's completely
normal, but then 50 yards up the road,
39
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,260
it was just chaos.
40
00:03:14,660 --> 00:03:15,660
Cardiac arrest.
41
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:17,300
And everyone just seemed in shock.
42
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,380
No-one was really telling us what had
happened.
43
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:26,500
One off-duty nurse came up to me and,
bless her, she just had her hands like
44
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:29,580
that with blood on them and I've just
dumped a load of hand gel in her hand.
45
00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:37,260
That's fine, that's fine, thank you.
46
00:03:37,460 --> 00:03:38,460
You guys family?
47
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:39,459
I'm the mum.
48
00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:40,460
OK. OK,
49
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,360
bless you.
50
00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:50,480
That day, Ollie was going to Bugsbottom
to meet up with a girl who was a friend,
51
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,820
and so we weren't concerned, really,
about that. It was a normal thing to
52
00:03:55,820 --> 00:03:56,820
happen.
53
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,080
And he knew I'd want him back before it
was getting dark.
54
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,800
He wasn't going any distance, and it was
during lockdown, and so you were allowed
55
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,360
an hour of exercise out each day, and he
wasn't at school.
56
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,680
I thought he'd be back quite quickly.
57
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,880
And he was going to meet somebody that
we knew, so...
58
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,980
Where's
59
00:04:29,980 --> 00:04:31,220
this girl? I thought he'd been stabbed.
60
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:34,460
Who is this girl? Is she OK?
61
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:38,340
Has she been injured? Has she witnessed
what happened?
62
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:41,800
I was genuinely worried for her welfare.
63
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:47,340
I mean, she got on the phone, I think,
to her mum to find out where she was and
64
00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:50,040
to find out an address as to where we
can find her.
65
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,960
I'll get police there now.
66
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,020
OK, the police will come and see you.
67
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,860
They're trying to save him.
68
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:00,820
Three feet further, she was meeting him
here.
69
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:04,180
and that's simply we need to get hold of
her as a priority.
70
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,640
Hello there. Do you know why we're here?
71
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,320
How old are you?
72
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:25,880
I'm 13.
73
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,580
13, okay. So we need a parent with you
then, yeah? In the kitchen, yeah? Of
74
00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:30,580
course, in the kitchen now.
75
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:31,730
Yeah.
76
00:05:31,910 --> 00:05:34,610
OK, so you and him met up, then what
happened?
77
00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:40,530
We were just walking around, and then
these people, I didn't see their faces.
78
00:05:40,650 --> 00:05:41,970
Their face was covered.
79
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:47,730
And then there was, like, two of them,
and then they just started shouting at
80
00:05:47,730 --> 00:05:54,170
him. I started running off because I was
scared, and then I didn't... Sorry.
81
00:05:54,490 --> 00:05:55,910
I didn't know what to do.
82
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:58,050
No, it's fine. Don't be sorry, Craigie.
83
00:06:00,750 --> 00:06:01,950
Can you say what to do? What happened?
84
00:06:03,710 --> 00:06:06,210
I saw him get stabbed.
85
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:08,990
But you panicked at that stage, yeah?
86
00:06:09,390 --> 00:06:14,350
And you started to walk away, yeah? I
just went off. I don't know where I
87
00:06:14,350 --> 00:06:15,570
went. I just started running.
88
00:06:17,790 --> 00:06:19,230
You don't know who these other people
were?
89
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:20,850
I don't know who they were.
90
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:25,530
When you ran off, did you see them run
off at all? I don't know where they
91
00:06:25,530 --> 00:06:27,170
went. I just carried on running.
92
00:06:27,450 --> 00:06:28,429
That's completely understandable.
93
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:30,070
Yeah, I feel exactly the same thing.
94
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,500
Do you know if he's alive?
95
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,900
I still don't have any updates on his
condition at all, yes. All right,
96
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,919
otherwise I'd tell you.
97
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,800
He's still being worked on, that's all I
can say. They're still trying to save
98
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,800
him at the moment.
99
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,000
He was starting to drizzle and it was
getting darker.
100
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,080
It had changed quite dramatically in a
short amount of time.
101
00:06:57,710 --> 00:07:00,490
It's in the update. They're probably
going to take him to Oxford, probably on
102
00:07:00,490 --> 00:07:01,490
the air ambulance.
103
00:07:01,530 --> 00:07:05,250
It was feeling colder and your instinct
was kind of like you didn't want to be
104
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,250
in the field any longer.
105
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:14,390
You can just tell from the demeanour of
the paramedics how serious it was.
106
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:19,970
I think I made brief eye contact with
one who just shook their head at me and
107
00:07:19,970 --> 00:07:22,230
that said it all. I kind of knew then.
108
00:07:23,210 --> 00:07:26,870
He lost an awful lot of blood. He
inhaled a lot of blood, so his lungs
109
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:27,870
were full of blood.
110
00:07:29,190 --> 00:07:31,930
And there's no coming back from that.
111
00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:35,310
And I was begging him not to leave her.
112
00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:39,870
And I grabbed his hand, and his hand was
utterly lifeless and cold.
113
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:45,490
They got him onto a trolley, and CPR was
still being carried out.
114
00:07:47,150 --> 00:07:49,830
You've always got hope, but I understood
there was no chance.
115
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,680
There was a certain feeling of almost,
oh, just leave Ollie alone. Just leave
116
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,539
him alone.
117
00:07:59,540 --> 00:08:00,540
He's gone.
118
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,820
The lady who was the surgeon, we now
realise, came over and she said,
119
00:08:10,940 --> 00:08:12,640
I'm ever so sorry.
120
00:08:12,940 --> 00:08:14,440
This was at five o'clock.
121
00:08:15,020 --> 00:08:18,080
So this was like an hour and a half
after he'd left the house.
122
00:08:18,580 --> 00:08:19,600
Never so sorry.
123
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,560
And you're just in such shock.
124
00:08:24,090 --> 00:08:27,890
Such shock. And in your mind, you're
thinking, why? Why has this happened?
125
00:08:27,970 --> 00:08:30,290
Who could have done this to Ollie? Why
would they have done this?
126
00:08:33,030 --> 00:08:35,730
And I said, where's Ollie's phone?
127
00:08:37,490 --> 00:08:41,850
There were so many questions, I just
instinctively knew the answers would
128
00:08:41,850 --> 00:08:42,929
come through on his phone.
129
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:53,880
So I checked the location of him on my
phone, and the phone was... in where the
130
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,880
ambulance was located.
131
00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:59,680
And then it started to make its journey
across Reading.
132
00:09:00,220 --> 00:09:02,120
And it was about 20 past nine.
133
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:06,660
Finally, the phone was at the Reading
police station. I thought, good, it's
134
00:09:06,660 --> 00:09:07,660
there.
135
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,660
We'll get the answers now. We'll find
out what's happened, why this has
136
00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:13,780
happened to Ollie.
137
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,100
Steve Stevens died on Sunday after being
stabbed.
138
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,220
He was 13 years old.
139
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,620
Thames Valley Police have carried out a
widespread investigation in the
140
00:09:35,620 --> 00:09:36,620
surrounding area.
141
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,580
The natural reaction is shock.
142
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:50,700
You hear the age and you start to think,
you know, really? A 13-year-old boy
143
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:53,780
being stabbed in broad daylight on a
Sunday afternoon in Reading?
144
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:56,560
We're now responsible for finding out
what's happened.
145
00:09:57,580 --> 00:10:01,040
It's really important that we try to get
a sense of the victim, of who the victim
146
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,180
is, what their personality is, what
their habits are, what's been happening
147
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:08,300
online or in his social life in the days
and the hours leading up to him being
148
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:09,300
attacked.
149
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,680
People live their lives through their
mobile phones, and clearly there was
150
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:16,760
likely to be information on Ollie's
phone.
151
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:21,000
We needed to get that phone.
152
00:10:21,370 --> 00:10:24,710
to the digital forensics unit to be
downloaded and examined.
153
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:43,410
The reality is your phone knows you
better than your partner does.
154
00:10:43,630 --> 00:10:47,930
You don't have any secrets from your
phone. It's a window into your soul.
155
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,500
With just a short period of time spent
looking at the data from their phones,
156
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,260
you can start to see what kind of person
they are, what they're interested in,
157
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,680
and that's where the truth is.
158
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:10,260
When you look at a victim's phone, it's
emotionally very, very difficult because
159
00:11:10,260 --> 00:11:16,960
you can see their messages, you can see
photographs of them, and you know now
160
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,400
that this person's no longer alive.
161
00:11:26,190 --> 00:11:28,810
Ollie was two months into being 13.
162
00:11:29,850 --> 00:11:31,450
He was a whirlwind.
163
00:11:32,050 --> 00:11:36,250
He one minute would want to learn German
and he'd get us ordering him a German
164
00:11:36,250 --> 00:11:41,090
dictionary and by the next week he would
be into basketball and look into joining
165
00:11:41,090 --> 00:11:42,090
a local club.
166
00:11:42,850 --> 00:11:45,270
He had a diagnosis of autism.
167
00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:52,270
And I think he was very good at masking
with his friends.
168
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,780
and in school and being the life and
soul, the joker.
169
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:00,380
There were worries about going to the
secondary school and along with that
170
00:12:00,380 --> 00:12:03,180
came a lot of sort of low self-esteem.
171
00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:10,720
Ollie always had his phone on him. It
was permanently on him. It went to bed,
172
00:12:10,780 --> 00:12:11,780
it was with him.
173
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,240
Listening to his music, listening to his
podcast, contacting his friends.
174
00:12:17,580 --> 00:12:19,700
His phone was very private to him.
175
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,460
He saw that...
176
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:26,700
It was his own world. It wasn't a place
where adults, and especially not
177
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:28,400
parents, were supposed to be.
178
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:33,380
You could see how his demeanour would
change as things would kind of come up
179
00:12:33,380 --> 00:12:34,480
and happen.
180
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,220
And it was taking over, really, a lot of
his life. And it happened gradually, and
181
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:45,420
it just built up and built up till that
was how he was filling his day.
182
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,260
The online world was his world.
183
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,260
And I think along with other children,
it allowed him to create a persona of
184
00:12:54,260 --> 00:12:55,900
how he wanted to be seen.
185
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,000
He would stay in his room a lot, you
know, close the curtains.
186
00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:01,880
You could tell he was troubled.
187
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:08,060
But even though you could see he looked
worried and distracted, he would never
188
00:13:08,060 --> 00:13:09,060
talk about that.
189
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,800
What Ollie's phone did give us was the
conversation with the girl that he had
190
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,800
arranged to meet.
191
00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:52,560
From Ollie's phone data, we could see he
was meeting the girl to smoke some
192
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:56,860
tobacco and wasn't expecting to see
anyone else there besides the girl.
193
00:14:04,540 --> 00:14:09,320
Now, a number of witnesses were
describing a girl being present at the
194
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,020
scene with a group of young males and
that very much fitted the description of
195
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,360
the girl that Ollie had agreed to meet
in the park.
196
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,860
We had CCTV footage that covered the
south entrance to Bugs Bottom.
197
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:31,220
And that footage showed two boys dressed
in dark clothing leaving the park on a
198
00:14:31,220 --> 00:14:35,200
single e-scooter a couple of minutes
after the ambulance had been called,
199
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,200
followed by another group of two boys
and a girl.
200
00:14:44,060 --> 00:14:46,720
You met up with them at Bugs Bottom?
Just you and him?
201
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,120
Yeah.
202
00:14:48,460 --> 00:14:49,940
You don't know who these other people
were?
203
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,300
I don't know who they were.
204
00:14:52,740 --> 00:14:56,520
When you ran off, did you see them run
off at all? I don't know where they
205
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,100
went. I just carried on running.
206
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,320
She made no mention of being with
anybody else.
207
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,980
But this girl was clearly with two boys
on the CCTV.
208
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,340
Is she running away from the attackers
because she's panicked and because she's
209
00:15:15,340 --> 00:15:16,880
scared? Or actually...
210
00:15:17,290 --> 00:15:20,390
Does it suggest that she's more involved
than what she said and that actually
211
00:15:20,390 --> 00:15:21,390
she's running away from Ollie?
212
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:26,010
We had serious questions around the
girl's role.
213
00:15:26,830 --> 00:15:30,050
We decided that the girl would be
treated as a suspect.
214
00:15:32,830 --> 00:15:36,630
We had various descriptions from people
in the park who'd seen a group of young
215
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:39,170
people moving towards the location where
Ollie was attacked.
216
00:15:42,670 --> 00:15:45,310
Working out who it was that they'd seen
was a challenge.
217
00:15:47,470 --> 00:15:51,590
We were looking for a group of somewhere
between three and six young people.
218
00:15:53,970 --> 00:15:58,950
But later that night, we received a call
from the parent of a teenage boy
219
00:15:58,950 --> 00:16:04,150
who witnessed the attack and knows those
people involved.
220
00:16:06,110 --> 00:16:09,370
His initial account was that Ollie met
the girl.
221
00:16:10,050 --> 00:16:15,330
Ollie got into a fight with two boys in
dark clothing, boy one and boy two.
222
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,180
and that shortly after that fight
starts, boy one produces a knife and
223
00:16:22,180 --> 00:16:25,400
stabs Ollie, at which point everybody
leaves.
224
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,140
Now that we had this significant piece
of evidence, the boys and the girl were
225
00:16:31,140 --> 00:16:32,140
then arrested.
226
00:16:32,220 --> 00:16:36,840
The other two boys caught on CCTV with
the girl, they were arrested, then
227
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,680
released on bail and treated as
witnesses.
228
00:16:43,530 --> 00:16:47,670
The investigation into this murder by
Thames Valley's major crime unit is
229
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:49,570
being described as fast-paced.
230
00:16:49,930 --> 00:16:52,390
Dozens of police officers have been
brought in to help.
231
00:16:55,490 --> 00:16:59,230
Detectives are out collecting as much
information and potential video footage
232
00:16:59,230 --> 00:17:00,230
as possible.
233
00:17:00,290 --> 00:17:06,190
Four schoolboys and one girl, all aged
13 or 14, have been arrested on
234
00:17:06,190 --> 00:17:08,569
suspicion of conspiracy to commit
murder.
235
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,440
It's rare to have a case where you're
dealing with children of this age in a
236
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,440
motor investigation.
237
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,400
You hear the age, 13, 14 year olds, and
you know, the absolute human emotion
238
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,400
does kick in.
239
00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:40,660
We're now responsible for finding out
what's happened and we are working
240
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:41,660
against the clock.
241
00:17:43,180 --> 00:17:46,540
And we only have so long that we can
keep young people in custody.
242
00:17:49,930 --> 00:17:54,210
They are asked a number of questions
throughout all of their interviews.
243
00:17:54,410 --> 00:17:56,350
All of the suspects provided no comment
answers.
244
00:17:59,330 --> 00:18:02,010
It's a really, really intensive period.
245
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:07,510
The reality is you can't afford to waste
a minute during that time.
246
00:18:11,670 --> 00:18:14,590
You've now got a number of addresses
that need to be searched.
247
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:22,570
We recovered items from the houses that
were relevant. We've got scooters, we've
248
00:18:22,570 --> 00:18:23,570
got a number of knives.
249
00:18:25,390 --> 00:18:27,590
We recovered a number of items of
clothing.
250
00:18:28,170 --> 00:18:30,430
And that went off for forensic
submission.
251
00:18:32,510 --> 00:18:36,610
None of the items that we got provided a
forensic link back to the attack on
252
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:37,610
Ollie.
253
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:39,070
That was very disappointing.
254
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:52,020
We've got a very limited amount of time
to be able to charge.
255
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,240
But now we're in possession of their
phone.
256
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,160
We knew that the information that we
needed was going to come from the mobile
257
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,840
phones and from the social media
accounts.
258
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,540
I'm relying on the digital forensics
unit and the major crime analyst to find
259
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:08,540
something in time.
260
00:19:17,770 --> 00:19:20,050
Phone data is so important.
261
00:19:20,370 --> 00:19:25,210
And finding those key bits of
communication that can change a whole
262
00:19:25,210 --> 00:19:26,210
investigation.
263
00:19:27,550 --> 00:19:32,030
Phone data shows that the last person
that Ollie was in contact with before he
264
00:19:32,030 --> 00:19:33,190
was murdered was the girl.
265
00:19:34,690 --> 00:19:38,190
The conversation started in the early
hours of that Sunday.
266
00:19:40,290 --> 00:19:42,570
But once we see further phones...
267
00:19:42,970 --> 00:19:48,390
we were able to see that conversation
had been deleted from the girl's
268
00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:49,390
handset.
269
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:56,210
It was quite significant that the girl's
handset didn't contain very much
270
00:19:56,210 --> 00:20:01,530
information. By the extensive phone
analysis, we could see that apps had
271
00:20:01,530 --> 00:20:03,630
been deleted, communication had been
deleted.
272
00:20:03,950 --> 00:20:05,190
It was very telling.
273
00:20:05,790 --> 00:20:08,110
Did she know more than she's alluding
to?
274
00:20:08,450 --> 00:20:10,030
And what was she trying to hide?
275
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,340
The girl, she had removed a number of
apps in the hours after Ollie's murder.
276
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:33,260
She'd removed really significant apps
like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook
277
00:20:33,260 --> 00:20:39,980
Messenger, House Party, Boy One. He also
uninstalled some apps from his
278
00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:41,780
phone in the hours after the stabbing.
279
00:20:45,460 --> 00:20:49,120
So the kind of apps they would be using
a lot, they just weren't there.
280
00:20:54,510 --> 00:20:59,050
When you remove an app, it will remove
the data with it, and effectively that
281
00:20:59,050 --> 00:21:01,090
data is now unrecoverable.
282
00:21:01,910 --> 00:21:07,750
Once an app's been uninstalled, it's
incredibly difficult or even impossible
283
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:09,730
to actually see that data again.
284
00:21:11,690 --> 00:21:13,210
So that's a real problem.
285
00:21:14,850 --> 00:21:19,170
If you were involved in something like
this, then it doesn't surprise me one
286
00:21:19,170 --> 00:21:21,170
bit that you'd try and delete material
from it.
287
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,700
We knew that we didn't have enough
digital forensic evidence.
288
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,820
And you have a limited amount of time
because you have people in custody.
289
00:21:32,660 --> 00:21:36,660
I can't get this data here, but might
there be somewhere else I can still
290
00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:38,240
recover this information from?
291
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,040
If two people are communicating and one
of them chooses to uninstall the app...
292
00:21:46,090 --> 00:21:50,110
You still have the possibility of
recovering that conversation from the
293
00:21:50,110 --> 00:21:54,630
other device because it's very much a
transactional thing. I send something to
294
00:21:54,630 --> 00:21:58,390
a friend who shares it with two friends
and suddenly how many copies are there?
295
00:21:58,570 --> 00:22:02,530
So you still have a chance of finding
that evidence on another device.
296
00:22:03,450 --> 00:22:08,610
We were able to recover 41 mobile phones
in this investigation to find it. The
297
00:22:08,610 --> 00:22:09,910
other side, we deleted a conversation.
298
00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:15,310
That in itself involves quite a lot of
hours, a huge amount of work.
299
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,380
And the data that it generates is
significant.
300
00:22:19,580 --> 00:22:23,220
And we knew that the information that
was on these phones was going to be
301
00:22:23,220 --> 00:22:24,220
critical to us.
302
00:22:26,940 --> 00:22:29,660
And then we had the real breakthrough in
the investigation.
303
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,480
With Boy One's data, we could see his
friends were in contact with him.
304
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,320
The young person who'd been in a
Snapchat conversation with Boy One.
305
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,620
we believed at that point that boy one
was the stabber
306
00:23:26,620 --> 00:23:36,120
the
307
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:43,100
cps were authorized with charges but it
accepts that
308
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:50,080
there is more evidence to come before
getting to trial so now you've
309
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,080
got to build the case
310
00:23:53,770 --> 00:23:55,970
We still had a lot of evidence to
gather.
311
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:59,870
No clothing had been seized that
provided a forensic link to Ollie.
312
00:24:00,630 --> 00:24:02,810
No murder weapon had been located.
313
00:24:04,210 --> 00:24:07,510
We didn't have a motive around what had
happened to Ollie.
314
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:12,990
We needed to find more evidence.
315
00:24:20,050 --> 00:24:21,490
We were also conscious.
316
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:24,280
that Ali deserved to get justice.
317
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,680
We needed to still process quite a
significant amount of handsets.
318
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:37,840
Every device leaves a digital footprint
and it's our job to follow that trail
319
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,140
and find the key bits of information
that will help progress the
320
00:24:42,140 --> 00:24:43,140
investigation.
321
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,740
that were on the phones. They were apps
that I'd simply never encountered before
322
00:24:54,740 --> 00:24:59,940
in a criminal investigation, and our
forensic tools offered absolutely no
323
00:24:59,940 --> 00:25:00,940
support for that.
324
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,560
They required a lot of intervention to
examine the data, and that you're having
325
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,200
to decode entirely new analysis work.
326
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,560
There's a pressure. You want to get the
data to the case team as quickly as you
327
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:18,040
can. It was never out of my mind that a
13-year-old boy had been killed, but...
328
00:25:18,330 --> 00:25:23,170
Understanding how an app is working and
how it's storing its data can take a lot
329
00:25:23,170 --> 00:25:27,050
of time. It can be very painstaking
work, and there's always an element of
330
00:25:27,050 --> 00:25:30,170
risk that you may misunderstand that or
you may not be successful.
331
00:25:30,970 --> 00:25:35,530
But you've got access to a really,
really rich data set. Not only do you
332
00:25:35,530 --> 00:25:40,350
get call information and SMSs, but you
get all the information that's being
333
00:25:40,350 --> 00:25:41,730
created by it on the phone.
334
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:47,920
All the phones we were looking at were
iPhones, and they created and stored a
335
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,400
very, very rich set of location
information.
336
00:25:52,940 --> 00:25:57,400
So we were able to recover GPS
coordinates together with a date and
337
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,220
time stamp, so we could see exactly
where those phones had been at the
338
00:26:02,220 --> 00:26:03,220
relevant time.
339
00:26:04,740 --> 00:26:09,400
We could see from the phone location
data where boy one had been. That
340
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,850
enabled the officers then to acquire...
CCTV specifically along that route.
341
00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:22,770
Through the GPS data, we'd found a CCTV
that showed that boy one had basically
342
00:26:22,770 --> 00:26:26,510
having gone home, changed his clothing,
come out again carrying a bag.
343
00:26:30,330 --> 00:26:33,270
When he returned home later that night,
he didn't have the bag.
344
00:26:34,830 --> 00:26:40,150
The phone data ultimately then led us to
a park in Reading called Palmer Park.
345
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,720
Later on Sunday evening, boy one and boy
two had met up with another boy and
346
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,880
they'd spent about 15 minutes in a
particular area of Palmer Park.
347
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:56,100
We tasked the search team with to find
the bag.
348
00:27:00,060 --> 00:27:01,940
The park runs along the railway.
349
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:11,240
One of the search officers identified a
drawstring plastic bag alongside the
350
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,240
railway embankment.
351
00:27:14,670 --> 00:27:18,770
And within that bag there was a pair of
black North Face gloves,
352
00:27:18,990 --> 00:27:25,990
a pair of Nike shorts, and a
353
00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:31,490
pair of black Nike jogging bottoms, all
of which were consistent with clothing
354
00:27:31,490 --> 00:27:33,050
worn by Boy One.
355
00:27:34,010 --> 00:27:37,510
All of those items came back with
Ollie's blood on them.
356
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:46,140
That provided us with that firm forensic
link that made us absolutely sure that
357
00:27:46,140 --> 00:27:49,120
Boy One at least was present when Ollie
was attacked.
358
00:27:51,460 --> 00:27:54,900
That was a significant find. That was a
really significant find.
359
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,840
It didn't convict Boy One of murder.
360
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:06,520
It didn't prove why, but it made us
absolutely sure that he was present
361
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,520
at the time that Ollie was attacked.
362
00:28:12,430 --> 00:28:14,890
We still weren't sure exactly what
happened.
363
00:28:19,630 --> 00:28:26,090
From our phone data, it was clear that
Ollie was exchanging WhatsApp messages
364
00:28:26,090 --> 00:28:27,290
with the girl.
365
00:28:29,650 --> 00:28:34,910
At the same time, the girl was in a
house party call with boy two.
366
00:28:39,470 --> 00:28:43,310
So we didn't know what the full contents
of that communication was, but to be
367
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,550
having those exchanges all at the same
time was important to us.
368
00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:49,850
And we know that she has lied to us.
369
00:28:51,810 --> 00:28:57,110
Through further phone analysis, we could
also see that Ollie had been in touch
370
00:28:57,110 --> 00:29:02,630
with boy one and boy two and had
communicated together in chat groups.
371
00:29:03,070 --> 00:29:05,250
So they were known to him.
372
00:29:08,810 --> 00:29:13,330
We were then focused on Boy 2 and all
the communication that he had on his
373
00:29:13,330 --> 00:29:14,330
phone.
374
00:29:15,670 --> 00:29:20,590
Significantly from the data, you could
see that there had been some
375
00:29:20,590 --> 00:29:24,690
confrontational messages between Ollie
and Boy 2.
376
00:29:30,190 --> 00:29:34,090
And we could see that Boy 2 was quite
aggressive.
377
00:29:40,330 --> 00:29:44,430
And as the investigation progressed and
we seized further phones, we were able
378
00:29:44,430 --> 00:29:46,170
to piece together a big puzzle.
379
00:29:49,150 --> 00:29:54,670
I think, realistically, if Holly's death
had occurred six months earlier, I'm not
380
00:29:54,670 --> 00:29:58,190
sure that we would have had the ability
to acquire all of the material that we
381
00:29:58,190 --> 00:29:59,190
did.
382
00:29:59,250 --> 00:30:02,090
That's how quickly technology and
software is developing.
383
00:30:09,870 --> 00:30:14,010
Oli, Boy One and Boy Two were members of
the same Snapchat group.
384
00:30:14,510 --> 00:30:20,870
In the days leading up to the attack on
Oli, Boy Two had posted a video on the
385
00:30:20,870 --> 00:30:21,870
Snapchat group.
386
00:30:22,970 --> 00:30:26,950
That video showed a young person being
slapped and punched.
387
00:30:28,370 --> 00:30:31,590
Boy One had then added a series of
laughing emojis.
388
00:30:32,410 --> 00:30:38,310
Oli had then shared that video to family
of the boy who was being humiliated in
389
00:30:38,310 --> 00:30:39,259
the video.
390
00:30:39,260 --> 00:30:43,200
Boy one and boy two felt that Ollie had
grasped or snitched on them.
391
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,960
But the reality is we don't know.
392
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,340
Only Ollie could tell us why he chose to
share that video.
393
00:30:51,820 --> 00:30:55,400
So the boys, they plant all the girls to
get Ollie to the park.
394
00:30:57,300 --> 00:30:59,980
And for boy two and Ollie to have a
fight.
395
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,400
It's absolutely clear to me that if
Ollie thought... that boy one or boy two
396
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,280
were going to be present it wouldn't
have happened he wouldn't have left his
397
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,140
house the only reason that ollie was in
the park that afternoon was to meet the
398
00:31:14,140 --> 00:31:14,380
girl
399
00:31:14,380 --> 00:31:27,760
ollie
400
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:34,660
had no idea and that level of deceit
it's just it's And I
401
00:31:34,660 --> 00:31:41,420
think what I always think about is poor
Ollie, that day, in his mind, thinking,
402
00:31:41,660 --> 00:31:47,460
just going to meet that person, and then
to be then confronted
403
00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:50,260
by those two.
404
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,740
He would have been very alarmed in that
moment when he realised what was going
405
00:31:54,740 --> 00:31:57,180
on, and he probably knew what was
coming.
406
00:31:58,820 --> 00:32:03,240
He would have known that he had been set
up, and I think that...
407
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:09,840
is so sad for me because right that
moment he had no protection apart from
408
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:10,520
protect himself
409
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:22,320
five
410
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:27,860
weeks into the investigation we had a
case conference with our barrister and
411
00:32:27,860 --> 00:32:30,280
we reviewed all of the evidence that we
had
412
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,940
It was quite a long, challenging case
conference.
413
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,260
At the end of that case conference, our
barrister's view was that we could
414
00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:43,000
continue to charge Boy 1 with murder.
415
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:49,060
But we didn't have sufficient evidence
to sustain the murder charge against the
416
00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:50,480
girl and Boy 2.
417
00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:57,500
That was obviously quite a disappointing
position to find ourselves in.
418
00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:01,180
I went away that night and I'm sitting
there and I'm thinking, what are the
419
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:02,860
implications for the investigation?
420
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:11,100
Thinking, what are the implications for
Thames Valley Police as an organisation,
421
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,720
given the profile that this case has?
422
00:33:15,420 --> 00:33:19,620
Ollie's parents had released this
statement saying, in his final moments,
423
00:33:19,660 --> 00:33:20,820
he must have been terrified.
424
00:33:21,260 --> 00:33:24,220
Fighting to get home, he had everything
to live for.
425
00:33:25,580 --> 00:33:29,300
What are the implications for Ollie's
family when they hear that news because
426
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:30,480
that's going to have a huge impact.
427
00:33:31,660 --> 00:33:36,920
We needed to find more evidence to get
us to a position where boy two and the
428
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,880
girl could go forward with a charge of
murder.
429
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,080
We need an explicit plan to show what
was going to happen.
430
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,740
We had to have evidence that showed an
intention to kill Ollie.
431
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,940
In order to convict someone of murder,
you need to show an intention to kill or
432
00:34:05,940 --> 00:34:07,460
to cause at least really serious harm.
433
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:15,980
We were struggling for evidence that
really demonstrated clearly the role of
434
00:34:15,980 --> 00:34:17,360
the girl and boy two.
435
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:26,300
We had no evidence of an explicit
agreement or plan that a knife would be
436
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:28,300
involved in the attack on Ollie.
437
00:34:31,150 --> 00:34:35,469
It was important to determine whether
any references to the knife were
438
00:34:35,469 --> 00:34:36,949
captured in the data.
439
00:34:37,330 --> 00:34:41,690
We needed to fully explore what the
media files were showing us.
440
00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:49,790
We tend to think of Snapchat as an app
where everything disappears.
441
00:34:50,389 --> 00:34:56,050
And that's true if you send a snap, but
it also lets you send lots of other
442
00:34:56,050 --> 00:34:57,610
media, like voice messages.
443
00:34:59,180 --> 00:35:04,000
I found a folder with hundreds or even
thousands of images and voice recordings
444
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000
in it.
445
00:35:06,660 --> 00:35:13,380
But we can't see very clearly who the
446
00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:16,120
sender or recipient of a message
necessarily is.
447
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,540
Each one of those voice notes has its
own puzzle that needs to be looked at
448
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:27,540
manually.
449
00:35:27,930 --> 00:35:30,730
to try and understand who sent it, when
they sent it.
450
00:35:34,270 --> 00:35:39,090
The challenge that we had was to analyse
multiple sources of communication.
451
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:47,470
In the four days alone leading up to the
attack on Oli, 23,000 lines of Snapchat
452
00:35:47,470 --> 00:35:48,470
data.
453
00:35:49,650 --> 00:35:52,050
1,980 voice notes.
454
00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:57,230
It was just huge. It was a scale the
like of which I've never encountered
455
00:35:57,230 --> 00:35:58,230
before.
456
00:36:00,250 --> 00:36:05,350
We needed to still process quite a
significant amount of voice notes.
457
00:36:06,950 --> 00:36:09,590
And we were still piecing the jigs all
together.
458
00:36:11,230 --> 00:36:15,370
We needed to determine how much of the
information had been deleted.
459
00:36:15,930 --> 00:36:19,610
And if there's any bits missing, can we
find it?
460
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,180
So we were looking at the phones.
461
00:36:35,620 --> 00:36:41,200
We often think you can't recover fully
deleted files, but there are some
462
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,200
opportunities.
463
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:48,700
Now, forensically, there's a difference
here between uninstalling an app and
464
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:49,700
deleting a file.
465
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:58,080
Boy, too, he didn't uninstall apps, but
what he did do was delete
466
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,860
individual files.
467
00:37:03,530 --> 00:37:07,870
Deleting a file on an iPhone, you will
imagine it all disappears and you won't
468
00:37:07,870 --> 00:37:08,870
find anything.
469
00:37:10,050 --> 00:37:15,210
But with the right forensic tools, we
can see an entire database dedicated to
470
00:37:15,210 --> 00:37:16,710
managing the metadata.
471
00:37:17,230 --> 00:37:22,170
So we can see that a particular file was
deleted and know exactly when it was
472
00:37:22,170 --> 00:37:23,170
deleted.
473
00:37:28,750 --> 00:37:32,450
And sometimes even the original
photograph can be recovered.
474
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:40,000
Boy 2 certainly had this desire to
cultivate this bad boy, this gangster
475
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:45,960
image. There were images from Instagram
of violence and weapons of him posing
476
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,360
with a knife.
477
00:37:48,540 --> 00:37:54,420
We now had evidence of Boy 2 deleting
these images, but we still needed more.
478
00:37:55,620 --> 00:38:00,160
We need an explicit agreement. We need
an explicit plan to show whether Boy 2
479
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,900
knew that there was a knife being
carried by Boy 1.
480
00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:18,310
Listening to the voice notes, I did
actually find it quite upsetting because
481
00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:20,630
it's so personal. It becomes very real.
482
00:38:24,290 --> 00:38:31,130
In this case, the way that the young
people were
483
00:38:31,130 --> 00:38:33,750
talking, I found quite disturbing.
484
00:38:34,370 --> 00:38:39,190
It didn't sound to me like 13,
14-year-old children.
485
00:38:39,660 --> 00:38:43,900
should found it was very alien to me it
was like another world all of a sudden
486
00:38:43,900 --> 00:38:46,960
but i do not care
487
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:53,120
delving quite deeply into the data i
488
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:59,860
realized that the files had different
names in the two different databases but
489
00:38:59,860 --> 00:39:05,600
one of the databases contained both
names and that was the clue that allowed
490
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,280
me to start to link them
491
00:39:08,940 --> 00:39:13,680
It did enable us to see who'd sent them,
when they had been sent, and who they
492
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,680
were sent to.
493
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,260
Because I was going to set him up in it.
494
00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:29,500
He comes to you, I promise you, I'll pop
in a note for you.
495
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:36,700
Because basically, Ollie texted me
randomly yesterday.
496
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,860
I was like, oh, do you want some
cigarettes?
497
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,020
So I was like, yeah, because he wants me
to set him up.
498
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:50,780
So just going to go bang him and pat him
and shit.
499
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:56,840
I'm so excited you're doing the dance.
500
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:02,000
Significantly what the voice notes
showed was intense.
501
00:40:02,860 --> 00:40:06,800
They showed a series of snapchat
communications where boy to master girl
502
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:13,480
to set all the up and That that plan was
going to involve at the very least an
503
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,120
unlawful assault on only We
504
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:24,120
saw lots
505
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:29,860
of slang for nice being used in
particular Sheffer and poke Lots and
506
00:40:29,860 --> 00:40:33,820
lots of, you know, gangs to speak,
really, is the best way that I can
507
00:40:33,820 --> 00:40:34,820
describe it.
508
00:40:38,020 --> 00:40:43,120
Most importantly for Boy 2, we uncovered
a voice note sent three days before
509
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,120
Ollie was attacked.
510
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,560
I'll go to college, I'll leave my yard
in ten minutes.
511
00:40:50,380 --> 00:40:51,440
Bring a chef with me.
512
00:40:53,820 --> 00:40:56,860
Boy 2 had asked Boy 1 to bring a knife
with him.
513
00:40:59,180 --> 00:41:01,600
That was a huge turning point.
514
00:41:08,300 --> 00:41:12,220
So for me, that goes way beyond just
trying to cultivate an image. That's
515
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:16,420
taking a knife because you have either
an intention to use it or a knowledge
516
00:41:16,420 --> 00:41:18,120
that it will be used if required.
517
00:41:22,020 --> 00:41:27,440
Boy One was somebody who we knew had
been involved in previous violent
518
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,670
incidents. who was probably far more
likely to be the one carrying the knife.
519
00:41:32,130 --> 00:41:36,570
That's why Boy 2 wanted him with him on
the Sunday, so that he was there as
520
00:41:36,570 --> 00:41:39,010
backup in case they needed to use it.
521
00:41:40,150 --> 00:41:44,630
Within those voice notes was all of the
evidence that we needed.
522
00:41:46,790 --> 00:41:50,930
Boy 1, Boy 2 and the girl could go
forward with a charge of murder for the
523
00:41:50,930 --> 00:41:51,930
court to consider.
524
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:57,360
The girl aged 13 and the two boys aged
13 and 14.
525
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,840
Their identities can't be revealed
because of their ages.
526
00:42:01,180 --> 00:42:05,940
All three were charged with murder and
all three charged with conspiring to
527
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:07,460
cause grievous bodily harm.
528
00:42:08,020 --> 00:42:12,700
The teenagers were remanded into youth
detention accommodation and will appear
529
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:13,880
at Reading Crown Court.
530
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:20,600
Prior to the trial, having been charged
with murder and averting the course of
531
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:25,540
justice in relation to the deletion of
apps, the girl offered a guilty plea to
532
00:42:25,540 --> 00:42:27,820
manslaughter and averting the course of
justice.
533
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:33,880
She fully admitted to setting up Ollie,
so that Ollie would be ambushed and
534
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,120
subjected to an assault.
535
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,460
But she denied that she had any
knowledge that a knife would be used.
536
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,620
Ultimately, we decided to accept that
guilty plea.
537
00:42:46,860 --> 00:42:53,360
Boy one and boy two both went to trial,
and after a five-week trial, both were
538
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,280
found guilty unanimously by the jury of
Ollie's murder.
539
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,180
Videos and photos found on the boys'
mobiles were shown to the jury.
540
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:08,100
This is the younger boy showing off his
knives in his bedroom. He was 13 when he
541
00:43:08,100 --> 00:43:09,100
stabbed Ollie.
542
00:43:35,690 --> 00:43:40,230
I just really struggle to find any way
in which anybody could ever justify why
543
00:43:40,230 --> 00:43:42,030
that chain of events has unfolded.
544
00:43:43,090 --> 00:43:47,550
I find it really hard to understand how
this has ultimately ended up in a 13
545
00:43:47,550 --> 00:43:51,130
-year-old boy losing his life. I don't
think I'll ever necessarily be able to
546
00:43:51,130 --> 00:43:52,130
reconcile that.
547
00:43:53,450 --> 00:43:57,490
With social media, we are giving the
younger generation a platform to abuse
548
00:43:57,490 --> 00:43:58,490
and fall out.
549
00:43:59,530 --> 00:44:03,850
And it's scary because we don't really
have any control over it.
550
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:09,880
Without the work of the Digital
Forensics Unit, this case would have
551
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,080
looked very, very different.
552
00:44:11,460 --> 00:44:14,760
Could the case have been done without
it? I doubt it.
553
00:44:15,500 --> 00:44:19,400
Because it created some very critical
evidence. It's very important.
554
00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:27,200
When we got an insight into what had
been on Ollie's phone and what would
555
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,680
have been being communicated behind his
back, we were really, really shocked.
556
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,740
It's very hard to...
557
00:44:35,540 --> 00:44:38,740
unsee what had happened, the reality of
it.
558
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,400
And to this day, that's how you feel
every morning you wake up.
559
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:48,860
Don't cry every morning now, but just
that awful, sickening feeling of it
560
00:44:48,860 --> 00:44:49,860
wasn't a nightmare.
561
00:44:49,940 --> 00:44:51,540
This is our life now forever.
562
00:44:55,980 --> 00:45:00,780
You will never get those images out of
your head. You will never get to hug him
563
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:01,780
or kiss him again.
564
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,660
You know, you can look back on it now
and think he didn't have a long life and
565
00:45:09,660 --> 00:45:13,080
actually what he fitted into that life
was so much.
566
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,000
Life was an adventure and there was
nothing to worry about and off he would
567
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,000
go.
568
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:25,100
The field where Ollie was stabbed to
death is only a few hundred metres from
569
00:45:25,100 --> 00:45:26,940
his home, just outside Reading.
570
00:45:27,500 --> 00:45:30,740
There's a memorial tree and bench here
to remember him.
571
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,520
We wanted to get people back into the
field.
572
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,040
So we wanted the kids to come to that
field, to not shy away from it, to go
573
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,340
over there and sit, have a moment and
think and talk.
574
00:45:41,020 --> 00:45:44,240
We never thought we would have been able
to go back over there again.
575
00:45:46,060 --> 00:45:50,560
It's scenically very beautiful and it's
a lovely area for us to have so close to
576
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:51,560
remember him.
577
00:45:52,660 --> 00:45:57,100
And I think there's so much love for
Ollie and we've seen that from his
578
00:45:57,100 --> 00:46:00,860
friends, from the community, people who
didn't even know Ollie.
579
00:46:01,830 --> 00:46:05,150
People have seen the most awful thing
that's happened to him. He didn't
580
00:46:05,150 --> 00:46:08,170
deserve that to happen. It was
absolutely horrendous.
581
00:46:08,650 --> 00:46:14,390
But there's so much love for him, and
that just helped us and supported us
582
00:46:14,390 --> 00:46:15,970
through all of this.
583
00:46:32,460 --> 00:46:36,060
