The subject of today’s true crime case Terry Lee Hurst was a vulnerable 17 year old who had learning difficulties but despite his short life being characterised by constant bullying he was a happy and polite young man who just wanted to be accepted by others. So when a person called Rebecca Peeters, who was just 15 years old, invited him to a camping trip by the Broomhead Reservoir an area outside the picturesque village of Bolsterstone in South Yorkshire in the UK. They pair were also joined by 2 other teenagers John Sawdon and Jermaine James, both 17 years old. After setting up camp on the evening of 19th July 2004 Rebecca, John and Jermaine left the site returning a few hours later, drunk and armed with 2 5 foot long farming scythes they had stolen from a local church. They then attacked Terry with the scythes subjecting him to a horrific ordeal resulting in over 60 horrific injuries to his body including his jaw being broken so severely it was hanging open. This was a protracted and sustained attack with Terry being allowed to run and then being hunted like an animal so the attack could continue. When his body was found the next day, one of the scythes was found embedded in his neck. In the hours after the murder the trio were sat at home laughing about what they had done. They did not showed remorse for their behaviour or gave a reason for this act of senseless violence.
