I think he was gay and Rebecca thought he was her boyfriend and he thought she was going to tell everyone he was gay. He pushed her away and spread rumours etc about her so no one would believe her if she said he was gay (which she hadn't even figured out). He never wanted to date her.

[@samanthaM7119]

Same here. If I was her I would’ve sat Rebecca down and discussed how he had been treating her and tell her she probably shouldn’t meet him. Also talk about her current boyfriend who I assume was nice but who knows.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@katrabbit]

Unpopular opinion: The mom could've done a lot more as a *parent* to teach her daughter how to spot warning signs in a manipulative and abusive partner. That wasn't just some normal teenage boy behavior. She told her mother the kinds of rumors he spread about her and saw how he hurt her... and yet her mother happily giggled with Rebecca about possibly getting back together with him? Teach your daughter self respect and you could've saved your daughters life.

[@tvdforever5569]

Kat Rabbit I wouldn’t say the mom could’ve saved her really.... you really can’t escape the inevitable, once you cross paths with a psycho it’s hard to escape. His plan was to kill her, one way or another he would have killed her.sad.

[@faze194]

@@katrabbit that's just how teenagers are. I'm not defending that behavior or anything, but I'm in high school and that's how immature students act. They're your friend one day, they talk bad about you the next and want to be best friends right after. And he also adjusted his behavior before he texted her to meet up. He was nice to her again, they were friends again. You don't think anything of it, it's normal behavior for teenagers. Again, I'm not saying that's okay, but you really can't blame her. She mostly saw good in him.

[@katrabbit]

@@faze194 It's not normal. Just please know that right now, the things he did were not normal high school boy things to do. And to accept that thinking is exactly what continues the horrible behavior. If you know boys at your school right now who treat girls like this I urge you to start recording it and take it to a higher authority immediately as that is harassment among other things that should not be tolerated or allowed to just diminish on its own. I understand where you're coming from. Because as a teenager you don't know any better unless you've seen true horrible people and been taught at a young age that you can't trust everyone. Unfortunately that's exactly what I mean by the fact her mother should have stepped in, she should have been able to recognize the warning signs and gotten that young man some help or kept her daughter away from him for good at the least. A trouble loving, manipulative teenage boy turns into an abusive, angry adult man if he doesn't get checked real quick.

[@missjopin]

I just wonder WHY? She didn’t break up with him, nothing happened.. how could he be so angry? (Not that Breaking up or anything justifies a murder!)

[@kat4923]

People suspect he may have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. So it could be that he wanted to break up with her (probably because he likes to have power over other people) so to see her sad and to ruin her life, but when she recollected herself and was relatively happy even without him, he became furious.

[@samanthaM7119]

He’s a narcissist who needed to feel like he had control. She made him happy, so he broke up with her to have the higher ground and when she was finally happy that was when he needed to wipe her out. I’m not sure why he singled her out, he probably saw her a weaker and it’s heartbreaking. He ended the life of a friend, daughter, sister and lover because he couldn’t handle not having control of her. Also, I think he poisoned her and that’s why he didn’t care when she was in the hospital.

[@samanthaM7119]

hauha so you’re telling me a 15 and 16 year old were married? My comment was based on the information given in the video. I don’t research all cases I watch videos on, that was just my two cents on what was presented to me. Sorry if I offended you in anyways but why wasn’t that included in her video? Also the victims name was Rebecca, the killers name was Joshua, and the worried mother would be Sonia, maybe you’re talking about a different case.

No, despite how angry you are at his friends you really can't blame them.

[@LeahPrescott]

Hi I was wondering if you would cover a case I've been thinking a lot about recently. It's extremely close to home and makes me feel so sick but basically a family I knew was murdered when I was in primary school. They lived on my street literally about 10 houses down from me . One of the boys (Abbas) was in my class and they were killed by their own father as he believed their mum was having an affair. He planned it all. Everyone thought they would be going on a family holiday together,including the kids and the Mum but it turns out he booked a one way ticket elsewhere for himself. He murdered them all,tied the mum up and forced her to watch him murder their children before killing her,then fled the country. It took a whole month for the bodies to be discovered because the neighbors complained about a horrible smell and when they opened the letter box it stunk and there was flies everywhere. I don't think any of us understood when we was that little what actually happened to our classmate,it was all over the news but it just didn't register. we went back after the school holidays (when the murder was carried out) we had an assembly and planted 3 trees on the field (1 for each of the children) and we wrote messages in two big books to give to the Grandparents. Abbas' best friend never came back to school either bc it was too much for him so his family moved away. None of us ever spoke of it again bc we were so young we just didn't understand and now I'm older I've looked into it and it's broken my heart so much learning all the details of how they died.

My thoughts exactly, but later on when she told more about him I think he was just sick minded individual, he saw how much she loves him, and maybe that he could love her too, but it was just too much for his twisted dark mind-as some say the more they fight the more they love, but its still sick and some go over board!
