In August 2010, Gemma Hayter, a young woman with learning disabilities, was found dead on a disused railway line in Rugby, Warwickshire. She had been tortured and killed by people she believed were her friends. This week on REDRUM, Grace tells the story of the Gemma Hayter murder: who she was, how “mate crime” put her in danger, and the CCTV footage that captured her being led away. We also cover the 2011 trial, where Chantelle Booth, Daniel Newstead and Joe Boyer were jailed for life and the judge described the case as a “chronicle of heartlessness.” Gemma’s death led to a Serious Case Review, which found that opportunities to protect her were missed. Her mother, Sue Prince, has spent years speaking out about disability hate crime and pushing for answers. If you want the full story of the Rugby railway murder, or want to understand how mate crime targets vulnerable people, this episode covers the case from start to finish.
