Christopher Hughes was brutally murdered by a gang who wrongly believed he was guilty of a crime he didn’t commit
After a day of searching, they found him in broad daylight and forced him into a car. What followed was horrific. They drove him to a remote area and attacked him, stabbing him over 90 times.
His body was left in the open for days before it was discovered. It’s heartbreaking to think about how he pleaded for his life, asking what he had done wrong.
The gang believed they were delivering justice, but they were completely wrong. They had mistaken him for someone else, and DNA evidence later proved he hadn’t committed any crime.
Eight men were eventually convicted for this brutal act. They had all known each other and decided to take matters into their own hands instead of going to the police.
After the murder, they tried to cover their tracks, even attempting to bury his body. But police caught on, and their plans fell apart.
This whole situation is a chilling reminder of how dangerous mob mentality can be. It’s a sad story that will be featured in a new documentary, airing tonight.
