i would like disclaim that i don't mean any disrespect to anyone i talk about, all the information i have found off the internet.
overview
joshua Davies, 16, lured his 15 year old girlfriend Rebecca aylward into a wood and battered her to death with a rock. he left her body lying face down on the forest floor in south wales. he attempted to cover his tracks by sending her a text saying he was worried about her and after he was arrested he tried to frame one of his friends
the murder
Davies and Rebecca has known each other for some years and dated for 3 months a year before she was killed. they gave different reasons for the breakup but whatever the truth of it, Davies began to talk about killing Rebecca.
he told friends he would find a way of murdering her and get away with it. he spoke of making a poison out of plants such as deadly nightshade. Davies once asked his friends what they would give him if he carried out the killing. they said they did not take him seriously and promised to buy breakfast if he did it.
but on Saturday 23 of October Davies and Rebecca arranged to meet in the woods, a popular hangout for teenagers in their area. it is believed Rebecca may have thought that they were getting back together. After the attack, when a friend phoned him in the woods to ask if he was with Rebecca which Davies replied to with "define" what he meant by "with". he later boasted to his friends that he had attacked Rebecca.
following the murder, Davies summoned a friend to the woods. the friend described in court how he "glimpsed" Rebecca's body lying face down, her arms splayed out. that Davies was a "bit shaken" but didn't seem upset at what he'd done.
the motive still remains a puzzle, however the prosecution suggested he had spoken about killing Rebecca so often that he "talked himself into" carrying out what started off as an empty childish threat.
this was a tragic incident which brought shock and sadness to a close-knit community.
rip Rebecca, gone to soon xx
