    Murdered by his YouTube Fan: The Case of Marc Williams

    18-year-old Marc William's from Uckfield was a rising YouTube star, who liked to document his love of climbing high buildings, free running and parkour. He was loved by his friends and family and his videos also bought like minded people into his life, including another local man, Lewis Ashdown. They seemed to have a lot in common and soon Lewis started appearing in Marc's videos, joining him on his adventurers. But one night and one brutal act of betrayal, meant Marc would never upload another video again. This is REAL.
