In one posted conversation she denies she wanted her boyfriend killed, saying ” I told the guy to rob him” and not murder him, stressing: ” I did not say M him.”

Four boys and a girl, aged between 13 and 14, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and remain in police custody. Due to their age they cannot be identified by law so any social media circulated images reproduced here have been either pixelated to hide the faces or any names that could lead to identifying any of the teenagers allegedly involved.
The attack took place on Sunday in Bugs Bottom fields near to St Barnabus Road, Gravel Hill, Emmer Green at around 3.50pm and posts on social media are suggesting Oliver was killed after a row with his girlfriend erupted when he found out she had been sending nude selfies to another teenage boy.
