This is the story of the senseless murder of Darren Kelly, a 42-year-old father from South Essex, England. He would be accosted by a group of vigilante teenagers who believed he was there to meet up with an underaged girl.

In fact, Darren had been chatting online with a 15-year-girl, who set up this sting operation after becoming obsessed with the idea of catching a predator. She recruited a group of boys to hide in the bushes before the meeting, waiting to attack Darren when he showed up. The situation went from 0 to 10 very quickly, with one of the young men chasing Darren down with a hunting knife, before murdering him. In the end, a man’s life was taken from him - with no evidence to suggest he was even attempting to meet up with a teenager and very little recourse for those involved. The senseless murder of Darren Kelly is a perfect example of vigilante justice gone wrong and why it’s hardly ever a good idea to take the law into your own hands.
