Cold-Blooded Or Provoked? The Murder Of Sophie Elliott
On the 9th of January 2008, Sophie Elliott was excited and ready for a new stage in her life. She had recently ended an on and off again relationship with her abusive ex-boyfriend Clayton Weatherston, and was looking forward to a free and happy future.
She was packing up her life in her bedroom as she had just gotten her dream job 500 miles away and was due to leave shortly.
But her ex-boyfriend Clayton wouldn't let this happen. He turned up unannounced at her house and stabbed her 216 times in her bedroom, killing her violently and mutilating her body.
When police arrived at the scene and asked him why he had killed her, Clayton calmly responded because of `The emotional pain she has caused me over the past year'.
Clayton did not resist arrest, but at the trial, he pleaded not guilty to murder but admitted to manslaughter, claiming Sophie had provoked him into stabbing her.
Was this true? Had Sophie attacked Clayton first? Or was this narcissistic monster lying through his teeth and painting his ex-girlfriend in a bad light?
