Today’s true crime case is about Stephen Nicholson a 24 years old and an extremely dangerous man who had a history of violence and targeting underage girls to sexually abuse. This included him abusing one girl when he was 18 and she was 14. However, the age of the children he targeted appeared to decrease as he got older and one of these Lucy McHugh, a vulnerable 13 year old girl who Nicholson lived with, he had been raping since she was 12 years old. Nicholson was terrified that Lucy would reveal his abuse to the authorities and so he planned her death and, on 25th July 2018, he lured her to an Outdoor Sports Centre in the city of Southampton in the UK and stabbed her over 20 times before fleeing the scene. This cases is horrific not just because it involves the slaughter of an innocent 13 year old but it was clear that this didn’t have to happen, Nicholson should have been safely behind bars long before he murdered Lucy or at the very least as far away from her as possible. However, a combination of staggering professional failings and, frankly, horrifyingly neglectful parenting meant that this dangerous predatory was free to prowl the streets. Add to this the failure of a big tech company to release potentially key evidence to the Police to assist in their investigation it is clear that Lucy was failed throughout her life and even after her death. Evil among us is a channel which focuses on horrific serious cases from the UK and abroad with a focus on lesser known cases and serial murderers from around the world.
