Daniel Bartlem

Step inside the chilling mind of a teenage killer - was Daniel Bartlem born evil, or did his upbringing turn him into a murderer? Discover the shocking truth behind this infamous crime. In this gripping true crime documentary, investigative journalist Donal McIntyre unravels the disturbing case of Daniel Bartlem, the 14-year-old who brutally killed his own mother in Nottinghamshire. Drawing from exclusive interviews with criminologists, psychologists, family members, and those closest to the case, we explore the dark psychological journey that led Daniel from troubled childhood to premeditated matricide.

Experts weigh in on the influence of parental relationships, personality disorders, and the blurred line between fantasy and reality in young minds. Was Daniel's mother a victim of her own denial and love, or could this horrific crime have been prevented?
