Overview
20 year old Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend were attacked in a park in the Lancashire town of Bacup in August 2007 and left for dead. The victims were immediately rushed to hospital in a critical condition, their life hanging in the balance. The police immediately launched an investigation and set about tracing everyone who was in the park that night but soon encountered frightened young people too afraid to talk. While Sophie’s boyfriend survived this terrible ordeal, Sophie sadly died and the police were now hunting for a murderer. Sophie and her boyfriend were Goths who stood out from the crowd. Could something as simple as their different appearance be a motive for murder and would the police catch whoever committed this brutal crime?
