Teenage killer's soap fantasies
Boy guilty in hammer murder case
Boy 'killed woman and burnt body'
A 15-year-old boy who murdered his mother with a hammer and set her body on fire has been detained for a minimum of 16 years.

Daniel Bartlam had denied murder but admitted the manslaughter of his mother, Jacqueline Bartlam, following a row at their Nottinghamshire home.

Nottingham Crown Court was told she had been beaten seven times with a claw hammer, fracturing her face and skull.

A soap opera murder plot and violent TV clips were found on Daniel's computer.

Reporting restrictions preventing identification of the teenager were lifted by the court following his sentencing.

Mrs Bartlam, 47, was discovered by fire crews at her home in Georgia Drive, Redhill, Nottinghamshire, in the early hours of 25 April 2011.

Coronation Street
After being beaten, her body was then padded with paper, covered in petrol and set on fire, the court heard.

Daniel, who was 14 at the time of the killing, told police an intruder had killed his mother but detectives found a written "soap opera plot" on his computer in which he fantasised about his character carrying out a killing.

Jacqueline Bartlam was struck with a claw hammer seven times
The court heard he had been particularly interested in a Coronation Street storyline involving the character John Stape.

In the soap, Stape had murdered a woman with a hammer and then left her body in the wreckage of a tram crash.

It was also revealed Daniel had been watching violent horror films since he was eight and had viewed the film Saw hours before killing his mother.

The teenager claimed he had been provoked into violence when his mother called him "a freak" during their argument.

He was found guilty of murder at Nottingham Crown Court on 9 February.

The jury heard authorities raised concerns about the boy's behaviour in the months before the attack.

He told a counsellor voices were telling him to hurt people and that he had had visions of killing people, the court was told.

'Chilling violence'
However, several experts had concluded Daniel was not mentally ill and did not pose a risk.

Judge Julian Flaux described the killing as "grotesque" and "senseless" and said it seemed like the teenager wanted to "get away with the perfect murder".

Det Ch Insp Kate Meynell, who led the murder inquiry, said after sentencing: "The level of violence, degree of planning and extent of his lies is not only shocking, but it is also chilling that a boy of 14 could do this.

Detective chief inspector Kate Meynell: ''He stopped at nothing to try and get himself off the charges he was facing''
"You can only imagine the impact that this has had on Jacqueline's family, and having spent time with them throughout the investigation and subsequent legal proceedings, I know this is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, for them to come to terms with.

"This murder has devastated everyone involved. There is only one person who knows why it happened, and Daniel has lied consistently throughout, making attempts to besmirch Jacqueline's character.

"Everyone who knew her knew she lived for her children and was a warm, loving mother.

"Maybe one day Daniel will tell the truth, as there are several gaps that only he can fill."

A statement issued on behalf of the family said: "We find it so hard to explain what we are going through.

Daniel tried to destroy evidence by lighting a fire
"There are no winners here because not only have we lost Jacqui, but we have lost Daniel too because of what he's done.

"We know it was the right result at court, but trying to understand how a boy you have loved for 14 years can do something like this is so difficult.

"To find out that Daniel planned to kill his own mother and then hear all the details, it is all so hard to believe.

"The most difficult part for us and something that only Daniel can answer is 'why?'"

My thoughts as well Brit. Sorry, but if someone is saying, even if they are lying about it, that:

"He told a counsellor voices were telling him to hurt people and that he had had visions of killing people, the court was told."

Then how can any legitimate counselor say he is not a dangerous?

"Parricide" ?

I am a little sceptical of the link between TV and societal violence. However, I do agree that there are kids/adults out there with psychological issues. In this case, the counsellors should have heeded the signs..

I don't know about the dead bodies in the drainage which it seems only you smoke have seen it. , however I can assure you that be it outside my house or inside, and at any given time be it day or night either walking or in my car. I can walk on the beach at 3am I can run around Aspire zone at 12am I can park my car anywhere in the city and not worry about car thefts I can let my dog outside the compound and not be freaking at the thought of my dog being stolen. In short wherever and whenever in Qatar I’m always feeling safe in this country, and as safe as if I were inside my own house with the door closed and a 100 locks on.

Smoke--interesting point smoke, but you might consider this. Liberal societies whose leaders are subject to elections have every reason to manipulate crime statistics in order to show the voters what a great job is being done. This leads to government manipulations of crime statistics. Far fetched? Here are two examples reported in the UK Telegraph. There are similar cases in the US, etc., and it is becoming a serious problem. These are just examples to prove my argument. Do you have such examples to prove your theory?

An interesting piece from Psychology today:

http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200910/why-kids-kill-parents

Who Kills Their Parents?

There are three types of individuals who commit parricide. One is the severely abused child who is pushed beyond his or her limits. Another is the severely mentally ill child. And the third is the darling of the tabloids, the dangerously antisocial child.

By far, the severely abused child is the most frequently encountered type of offender. According to Paul Mones, a Los Angeles attorney who specializes in defending adolescent parricide offenders, more than 90 percent have been abused by their parents. In-depth portraits of such youths have frequently shown that they killed because they could no longer tolerate conditions at home. These children were psychologically abused by one or both parents and often suffered physical, sexual, and verbal abuse as well--and witnessed it given to others in the household. They did not typically have histories of severe mental illness or of serious and extensive delinquent behavior. They were not criminally sophisticated. For them, the killings represented an act of desperation--the only way out of a family situation they could no longer endure.

Only on occasion does a severely mentally ill child kill. These are children who have lost contact with reality. Their cases are often well documented with records of previous treatments that failed. Many of the cases are never tried; the killer is declared unfit to stand trial.

There are those few children who seem to kill without any remorse, yet whose parents seem to be loving and kind. The dangerously antisocial child is often the fodder of newspaper headlines. These juvenile offenders typically exhibit a conduct disorder--severely disruptive behavior that continues for over six months. These are the kids who kill their parents merely for some sort of instrumental, selfish end--never having to ask before borrowing the car again, for instance.

BG I think killing someone to know what it feels like is the very definition of unstable.

2020, no I don't believe being unstable is an excuse, as long as they know right from wrong they should be punished. However, I think it's important to know the reasons why people kill, so that we can hope to stop similar things from happening in the future.

However I do believe killers being unstable is a reason to not have the death penalty. We are all victims of our circumstances.

By MarcoNandoz-01• 3 Apr 2012 10:43
MarcoNandoz-01

2022: I believe lack of proper mental care is the main culprit in this most unforenute incident.

As seen from the reports, the boy was telling his doc's about the voices in his head urging him to kill; still he was told there was nothing wrong with him.

I'd like to see his mental doc convicted of playing a complacent role in this tragic murder, and put behind bars.

By smoke• 3 Apr 2012 10:42

2020 just a thought here: Bigger countries with more liberal laws get more crimes being reported. Smaller countries with strict rules on what gets in the papers and what should be reported just to make the country look good on paper so that they show a good image of the country to the world have less reported crimes. Agree or Disagree?

did anyone raised the possibility that the kid might be hunted.

Guys did u watched the serial movies "Paranormal Activities"

The kid might not be mentally ill but he might be forced to do something if he is hunted. and he won't even remember that he did it.

This kid if he is not mentally ill he is surely hunted.

Horror movies won't just affect a kid to "ATTEMPT" perfect murder.

"no credible evidence to back this up and nothing gets reported!". The sources I posted included Qatar in the study.

Crimes are reported in Qatar all the time. Sure some is not, but plenty in every country is not. So I'm not sure what you are arguing.

JJJ75: check this out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_Kingdom

In England and Wales, there were 880,000 "Violence against the person" crimes in 2008–9, equivalent to 16 per thousand people. There were about 50,000 sexual offences during the same period, just under 1 per thousand. Other areas of crime included robbery (80,000; equivalent to around 1.5 crimes/per thousand), burglary (285,000; 5 per thousand) and vehicle theft (150,000; 3 per thousand).[8] England and Wales has a prison population of over 80,000 (2007 estimate), equivalent to 149 people per 100,000 more than the EU average.

Yes jjj75, the UK is sooooooo much safer that Qatar. ROFL.

The UK was #1 in the number of violent crimes per 100,000 people in Europe--and ahead of South Africa and the US.

jjj75 as i have said i posted this to alert the parents to keep an eye on their children...in this case the boy started to watch horror movies right from 8 years n it has influenced him a lot which resulted later on murdering his own mom...and now this is an era of globalization kids do watch movies at this part of world too, so its always better to keep an eye on your kid...

shisha - I was trying to do you a favour by bringing it back round to Qatar - after all, this is Qatar living???

By Miss Mimi• 3 Apr 2012 10:17
Miss Mimi

I highly doubt that he killed her because of an argument or because he watched violent movies. Obviously he was mentally unstable (remember that the court's definition of insanity is if the murderer is aware of what he's done and aware that what he's done is wrong) or suffered from abuse, more likely both.

By shisha202• 3 Apr 2012 10:15

jjj75 in every country there are many unreported crimes which means that Qatar is no exemption, and yeah ofcourse there r many crimes which are settled outside the court...you can open a seperate forum to discuss that n dont hijack the topic ...

By Missteacher• 3 Apr 2012 10:14

Yes flor1212 - With cases such like in the film, Precious (for example),there are cases where parent's are mentally, psychologically, physically and sometimes sexually abusing their kids. In cases like these where the kids finally take no more and commit murder, although not right, I can understand why they may commit this crime.

However, if it is just over a silly argument like the story suggests above then it really is a very different matter, and a scary one at that!

Actually - there are thing that happen at RLF that would also make your hair curl that never get reported. Again, I personally know this because i had a friend who was Ex Navy and chief SHE manager up there, suicides murders etc but again, I am sure I will be called a a liar etc

2020 - she did report the assault, she was told by the police to drop it!

MN, define safe, you cannot use that term in such a blanket fashion. road deaths per 100,000 are 800% higher than the UK, this I do not call safe.

jjj75 : Yes I can't agree more. Violence is not a new phenomena and Qatar being part of this big world is definitely not an exception.

However I think you do agree with me that living in Qatar it’s much safer than many other countries.

Mine included.

Very said for a society to have such a thing in its midst.

Marco--this is their style of argument. Documented murder or other bad think happens in their country; they say similar things happen in Qatar with NO EVIDENCE as a way to hijack the thread.

btw--most assaults against women in the UK go unreported as well.

I can guarentee you that this story and many others are true.

Living with a local family, I hear many things that happen in Qatar that are never reported. I have seen and experienced things here that would shock even open minded westerners, but does anything get done about it? NO.

Who cares anyway... its their country isn't it?

MN - it was the police who told her to drop it. I believe she did change her mind later and decided to pursue it but she is not finding it an easy road to travel. She now really prefers not to discuss it as it is a difficult topic for her. As I have not implicated anyone by naming names, there are no allegations to make. i was trying to make a point that violence happen everywhere, UK, Europe North America. This is not a new phenomenon, as I pointed out to MM with the infamous Lizzie Borden case in America (accused of hatcheting her parents to death).

jjj75: This is a very serious accusation/allegation you are making in a public forum (woman kidnapped and beaten up) is not same like a taxi driver got egged or some local kid pushed in on a KFC queue. And you were the only witness in this case? Did you report the case to the Capital Police Department?

How am I supposed to believe all that? I’m not accusing you of telling a "Lie"

I’m simply asking you to back up your story and present evidence.

By jjj75• 3 Apr 2012 09:50

Smoke - also, if they allowed things to be reported in the newspapers, as the incident that I recounted almost certainly should have been, I would have a source! But as it is, we live where we live and let us not print anything that may look bad for a local, despite my friend who will live in constant pain for the rest of her life and never mind the mental harm it has done her, just so long as this is not reported.

BG - I think you got into trouble for calling me the L word yesterday so don't try it again today. So, how can it be hear say when you actually know someone personally who this has happened to? I think it is disgusting that you take beating a woman up so lightly that you think it is made up, that makes me sick.

BG - there is an awful lot that goes on here that neither you nor I know about.

I have a friend that was kidnapped and badly beaten up by a Local man in his early 20's. She was in hospital for weeks with internal bleeding, broken bones etc.

the police captain advised her it was in the best interests of all 'not to pursue it' To this day, years later, neither a whisper of it was ever in the paper nor did this person ever servce any time in prison. Violence does happen here but we, most of the time, will never get wind of it.

By MarcoNandoz-01• 3 Apr 2012 09:19

Sheisha. No sane human being would kill his own mother. It’s a sickness. The boy told 3 or 4 different doctor’s weeks before the incident took place that he done it that he heard voices telling him to kill and them more or less told him there was nothing wrong

The reality is there is no sufficient help for people with mental issues all around the world to get seen in hurry and definitely the UK is as far behind from being sufficient as those other countries.

I have a friend from X country with mental problems and he have to wait months, sometimes over a year, before he is seen by an "expert"

I pity the boy and will pray for his poor mom.

irrelevant. Also, it always perplexes me here that violence on TV and movies is rampant yet they censure kissing (last time I went to the cinema to watch a Bond film, they cut the kissing scene so badly that the film made no sense after that) - there tried to bring it back round to Qatar for you all.
