Crime Teen Jailed For 'Sexual And Sadistic' Murder

[FireCat]

A teenager has been jailed for a minimum of 25 years for the murder of a 14-year-old boy who he met online while playing video games. Lewis Daynes, 19, befriended Breck Bednar over the internet and lured him to a property in Essex.

It is believed the computer engineer had bound Breck's wrists and ankles with duct tape before stabbing him in the neck. Following the killing, Daynes took pictures of his victim's body and sent them to online acquaintances before calling police.

The judge, Mrs Justice Cox, said she was "sure this murder was driven by sexual and sadistic motivation", adding that Daynes had "groomed this boy over a lengthy period of time" and had "intended to kill him".

Two months before Breck died, his mother, Lorin LaFave, had called Surrey Police - concerned over Daynes's increasingly controlling online behaviour. The family has now lodged a complaint with the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

I don't understand. You're telling me, this guy, 19, is first off a computer engineer? Really? Second, after months, he really just tied the kid up and stabbed him to death, then took pictures to prove he did it, and then called the police? No one wants to question this?
