0:00.0	Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing so well and welcome back to the Criminal Makeup Podcast.
0:16.0	Each episode we dive into the minds of some of the worst criminals in history and today we're
0:21.4	going to be talking about the case of the Snapchat killers. Okay, so we're back in the UK with
0:27.2	today's case and this case does involve social media. Hence the name, the Snapchat killers.
0:33.0	Now the offenders in today's case shared some awful things on Snapchat during their crimes
0:38.4	and it really is just absolutely awful and shocking to do what they did anyway but then to
0:43.9	share it on social media is absolutely disgusting. But there is one other reason why today's case
0:50.4	has been given the name the Snapchat killers and that is because we don't actually know the identity
0:56.1	of the perpetrators in today's case which I know sounds absolutely crazy. It's like how do we
1:01.5	not know the identities of these people? So today's case is definitely a strange one to cover but the
1:07.6	reason we don't know the identities of the perpetrators in today's case is because the offenders are
1:12.5	children and because they were so young at the time of their crimes the UK justice system decided
1:18.5	their names should not be released and this actually does happen a lot with child offenders in the UK.
1:24.6	Now there are obviously some exceptions to that because we do know the identities of some child
1:29.3	perpetrators in the UK but for the most part when the offenders are under 16 we don't always know
1:34.8	their identities and that is what today's case is and I've got to say that this case is just so
1:40.8	terribly sad all around. The acts committed in today's case are absolutely awful and it really
1:46.7	does highlight things that have just gone wrong and it leaves you wondering what more could have
1:52.1	been done to prevent cases like today from happening so I do need to warn you some of the events
1:57.6	in this episode will not be easy to hear. Obviously the perpetrators in this case are children which
2:03.2	that in itself is not nice to hear but the victim in this case is also incredibly vulnerable. So
2:08.7	with all of that being said let's just jump in.
