UK Teen Tied To Tree and Forced to Drink Petrol

[King Antonius]

A 17-year-old boy died after being tied to a tree, made to drink petrol and then set on fire, detectives have said.

Post-mortem tests showed that Simon Everitt, of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, died as a result of inhaling combustible fluid, police said. Officers said the teenager's body had been buried in a ditch.

Simon vanished from Great Yarmouth on June 7. His remains were found in Mautby, Norfolk, three weeks later.

Three people have been charged with his murder. Jimi Lee Stewart, 24, and Maria Chandler, 40, both of Great Yarmouth, and Johnathan Clarke, 19, of Telford, Shropshire, are due before Norwich Crown Court on July 14.

Detectives launched a murder inquiry more than a week before finding Simon's remains after receiving a "tip-off".

Simon's father, Vince, 44, an entertainer from Great Yarmouth, had appealed for help in finding the teenager.

Mr Everitt said his son, who was studying engineering, had a "heart of gold".

The teenager was born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and grew up in Bishop Auckland, Durham. He and his father moved to Great Yarmouth four years ago.

Police said he was last seen outside the James Paget Hospital at Gorleston, near Great Yarmouth.

This was all over the news last night. Horrible, horrible way to die.

[.KICK]

That is so horrible, why do people do this !!

[84Mark]

Sick.

Thats one sick way of killing people. How nuts do you have to be to think of that kinda stuff :s

[gaurav]

This is gruesome.

My condolences to his family. :(

[reech]

I'd like to think I'm a moderate person but... with the current rise in senseless beatings and knife crimes, I'd be willing to support zero tolerance for this type of behaviour. Instantly in jail, for 1 / 5 / 10 years, and that's it. No benefits, publicly named, national service.

Damn, I'm turning into a Nazi :(

[evoman91]

That's just sick

Could I play the "videogames" card here? Sure, to sane people those sick games do nothing. But those who are nuts surely find inspiration in movies and games. With some movies/games I do think "how nuts do you hve to be to think that kind of stuff" too.

[Berserk87]

as sick is this is...wouldnt you preffer the burn to death quickly over having gas poured on your and burned slowly?

these people should be tied to the front cards, and drivin into.

What more can I say :blink: ?

Yep, that's the sort of culture we've got in the UK now. If it's not senseless knife or gun attacks, it's more twisted ways of hurting/killing people.

Something really must be done. But we can't count on Cameron, who wants to play the sensitive tory, and will aim his policies on broken homes rather than punishing the people out there, doing this. We also can't count on Brown, while he could be harsher on crime, he hasn't shown any willingness to sort things out on the streets.

My advice would be to introduce conscription to instil discipline, but then pull out of Iraq (we don't want the youth turning in to psychological victims of war, nor the headlines about funding the human cost of the war). Give the police permanent presence on estates with especially high crime rates, and include some limited army support (2 police/1 soldier). Cut the red tape and give the police more powers to be tougher on criminals. Also increase the school-leaving age to 18.

poor guy and his family :/

The people which where charged seem random tho (i mean, they don't seem to be related not by surname and neither by age)

[Rapid Dr3am]

So when do we bring back hanging? I mean, how about capital punishment for all crimes? Would get rid of repeat offenders like ASBO kids.

[Dc'1]

**** that. Why would a 40 year old woman do that to a teenager?

[theyarecomingforyou]

We need serious change in the UK or we'll see more twisted stuff like this. We need an effective government that isn't afraid to do things that will generate negative headlines in the tabloids - New Labour simply doesn't cut it.

[bobbba]

It's awful but sick stuff happens and has happened all the the time.

national service, harsher punishments all just talk when things will stay more or less the same.

[4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran]

That is very disturbing. What could have made them want to do something like that? :cry:

[Panacik]

sick sick people man.

[tom01]

I remember when there would have been a major outcry. Now it's just another article in a newspaper. Our country is descending into somewhere I detest.

You can't say "Oh, kids these days"....When I was younger I didn't live in the best place of the town...The amount of 'smacked's' Ive seen being slotted with bats, planks of wood or just throwing bricks threw the windows it was just a weekly basis :ninja:

Always a house on fire....Electric Avenue :p

But towns like that were more the exception then the rule, nowadays it's more the rule then the exception.

Seriously, it takes some seriously twisted ****** to actually go ahead and make the kid drink petrol. To be honest, the government is doing absolutely jack **** about it. Crappy immigration policies (I'm all for a diverse culture but ffs, we can't host the world on an island), ridiculous inflation and kids stabbing each other for the fun of it. If I had the money I'd probably get me and my family out of this country. England just isn't what it used to be, and it's a damn shame.

I'm not saying it's anything new - I'm saying that we are becoming more tolerant to these idiots.

National Service I say! And harsher penalties.
