It’s crazy how shady this guy is to think of putting a prerecorded live stream to try and cover up a murder. Pretty eerie how it was posted on Christmas and the guy acts or attempts to be heartwarming throughout it.
Dude went through all of that effort to create a fake livestream only to make it as obvious as possible in said livestream that he's the murderer. Actual scooby doo villain.
gotta love that the lawyer said "the livestream being fake isn't a basis for accusing him!" Even though it was never the basis. He was already accused and that was his alibi which was proven to be falsified
Yup! He was the one that tried to use it as his alibi… innocent people don’t need to lie so obviously he’s guilty in some fashion if he’s lying about where he is. I 100% think he did it, there’s too much evidence there.
As a student in his final year of law school, there are some mind-bogglingly incompetent lawyers out there. The best thing to do when your client is almost certainly guilty is to shut up and work on mitigating circumstances.
He probably thought he was a genius for pre-recording a video to fake a livestream for an alibi but ultimately he set himself up for an inescapable first degree murder charge because that is irrevocable proof of premeditation.
@@sisi5444 yeah, that's right, if you plan a murder it's wayyy worse than walking randomly down the street and shooting the first person you come across
There’s always something truly horrifying and disgusting about watching someone making calculated decisions well in advance to try and murder someone. Somehow the idea that they’ve been planning this for a while with their unintoxicated minds just takes the creep factor up a few notches.
It's a limited plus side, but a positive here in regards to getting justice for his poor victim is that the demonstrably false livestream is likely a great case for the argument of premeditation. The guy who goes out of their way to construct an alibi for murder, demonstrating literal calculated forethought and planning isn't gonna get away with arguing it was an unplanned act, driven by emotion.
@@uyuyuy99 he recorded this days before the murder, so unless he was drunk for days on end then he was sober at some point during the premeditation. Try using your ears or maybe your brain (ideally a combination of both?) before you spew shit out of your mouth
As a former fan of his I can tell you one of the most disturbing parts about this is at the beginning of the year, he made a tweet talking about how "2022 was the worst year of my life. You will never know the levels of suffering, loss, and cruelty I was subjected to, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I'm not ok, and I don't think I ever will fully be myself again. I've just lost too much." To most of us it just seems like Stephen was going through another depressive episode. We didn't think he was basically admitting he murdered someone.
@@larion2336 lmao victims rly cants win even when they’re stabbed to death there’s somehow a logical explanation to why they were killed. Like are you sure she didn’t do smthg to warrant her being stabbed to death while pregnant? How scary it is that you have to be liked by everyone and be on everyone’s good side and make no enemy ( basically be a doormat with no boundaries) in order to potentially not be killed .
@@larion2336 depending on the reason I highly doubt he's a monster. Monsters kill for no reason other than to fulfill an urge or because and they like it and sometimes both. They also don't feel bad about it in the slightest. Guarantee there's a sad story here as to why he resorted to murder as an answer but yeah I doubt we'll ever hear it because everyone will just assume he's the big bad villain and she's just an innocent victim. Not saying she couldn't just be an innocent victim but most people don't just target someone to murder on a whim.
The fact that a TH-camr I grew up watching not only murdered a pregnant woman, but planned it at least *days* in advance, is honestly terrifying, and I feel sick for having supported him - especially now knowing that some of my words of encouragement were given after he cruelly stole an innocent life and an unborn one. Rest in peace, Natalie and child.
Holy crap I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I watched his Doctor who toy reviews when I was a kid and now I realize that it was all stupid and none of his jokes where even funny. This whole case is absolutely horrifying.
@@linglongz9713I used to watch this guy because I thought he had the most high quality reviews of all the sonic screwdrivers and other toys and this is just.. yeah. My heart dropped when Charlie said mostly doctor who, and dropped even further when I seen the name.
Ya I used to watch him too so it was shocking to find out he's a cold blooded killer makes me feel uneasy but Thanks moist for shining light on to this, it's even wired because I looked back on that murders yt channel I was still subscribed to him I can tell you that didn't stay for much longer
Big story over here in Northern Ireland. The amount of planning that has went into the murder is scary. Recording a "livestream", changing his clothes after being on the bus, wearing 2 pairs of gloves etc. And all of that a week before Christmas and she was pregnant.
There was so much premeditated planning and even aftercare planning to make sure this would be the perfect crime. That is so extremely disturbing and I feel so horrible for the woman's family. I hope her and her child can find peace.
The best part though, is that the live stream is very obviously not live and he admitted to it later. Dude thought he was The Master but was actually K-9.
@Riley Small I cannot believe I have to explain this: "I hope they find peace", essentially means "now that they are no longer in pain, I hope their family is able to recover." Are you actually this fuckin dense or just trying to be and edgelord?
As a Doctor Who fan I knew his channel and even watched a few of his videos every once in a while but wasn't a big fan. I immediately recognized his face in the thumbnail and let out an audible "oh no". Absolutely chilling and disgusting, you'd never suspect this from him. Monsters lurk in the shadows.
I didn't know who it was in the video until I stopped it and looked. I'm devastated it was votesaxon07 I used to watch his sonic screwdriver reviews and other videos
Fucking disgraceful, as someone who’s Irish and realises how small our country is it’s shocking that something like this could happen so close to home.
Ik. Rewatching this video it always shakes me to the core how easily this could have happened to someone I know since it’s such a small country (I also have family members living in Lurgan.) This man is truly psychotic doing this to a pregnant woman no less. I hope Natalie’s family are doing ok.
@@galaxyred7 may be because it happened specifically in northern ireland, different country different news coverage etc i still find it difficult to believe the info wouldnt spread between the two parts of the island due to it being such a massive case, but it atleast makes a little sense
I first thought him saying Natalie was a stretch but it’s like he realizes what he accidentally said it and smiles in appreciation for the coincidence. Actually evil
@@Jasmine1998jewell he says abso-f***ing-not-aly. Then when he repeats it his inflection is just a little different to make it sound more like Natalie, which with his accent didn't really sound like her name at first.
The senior detective in charge of this case (John Caldwell) was brutally attacked in a premeditated attempt at murder a few days ago and is currently in critical condition. They've just arrested a 6th person today for it. It's really interesting to see such a massive content creator share this story from my small home country. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing it!
Looks like he has a lot of targets on his back. I guess that’s unavoidable when you handle that many high-profile cases. Hope he recovers soon, one article said his condition remains critical but stable.
@@c0rpster462balitimor if it had 4 decades of civil war and bombing throughout the rest of the country lol (futurely even tho it's not great these days it's far fat better than it use to be)
How horrific and tragic...her parents lost both a daughter and grandson, just before Christmas. God, I couldn't even imagine the pain her family is experiencing right now!
@@firstnamelastname8790 Some religious people believe God created everything and gave men free will, but He has no control over whether or not we align ourselves with good or evil within our time on Earth. I'm an athiest, too, but these sort of "gotcha" comments are really annoying and only showcase your ignorance and your close-mindedness. You are that which you purport to be against.
@@terrabelle9937 actually referring to god as "he" or "she" is what's ignorant, if god is real then it'd make sense that god wouldn't be subjected to a gender lmfao
My aunties husband knew him and apparently he was a really creepy guy. Apparently he stalked one of his earlier girlfriends while she was at work and all, sick guy honestly I hope and pray that Natalie’s family get the justice they deserve
He suffers from the dunning krueger effect definitely. He honestly believed he had covered all of his bases, so much so that he went through with a murder. He was like "only someone smarter than me could crack this case and good luck trying to find someone smarter than me"
This is absolutely heartbreaking. To think Natalie and her future baby lost their lives because of that scumbag. R.I.P. and I hope that pos gets an appropriate punishment for what he's done.
If he gets jailed at least there is solace in the fact that there are two things other prisoners hate more than cops. Abusers of women, and abusers of children. Killing a pregnant woman is a fast track to getting fucked up.
I hope the family gets justice and that he gets the punishment he deserves. What an absolutely sickening human being he is. The lengths he went to, to have an alibi is just.. I can’t believe it. I mean what is even the motive behind this? Was it his baby?
*Pretends to not be monster* Like seriously this man will definitely get charged with double counts of murder or murder and murder of a minor which it means it would be life sentence or death penalty if "Beyond shadow of a doubt" is rule in court when it comes to cases so severe. Just to be clear im not exactly familiar in legal system but I definitely know this man wont come out of prison for majority if not rest of his life or be executed
At this point I'm convinced Twitch chat are scrolling 24/7 for any degree of news. It's honestly impressive how fast they relay information to Charlie.
I’m in complete shock right now. I’ve been subbed to this dude for well over 10 years. Used to be a big Doctor Who fan when I was younger and watched all his toy/prop review videos. I straight up thought TH-cam was glitching when I saw his picture in the thumbnail
That has to be a pretty shitty feeling.. Kind of like how I felt when I found out about SkyDoesMinecraft, I used to watch him all the time when I was younger I imagine what you feel is even worse though since this guy turned out to be a straight up murderer...
I totally get that man... I'd been subscribed to Stephen for over 10 years too, including his original channel being demonetised and wishing him well after his scary Keratoconus surgery, I loved his live action subscriber milestone specials, But I turned my back on him after he spat disgusting accusations about people who don't like the latest Doctor Who, I unsubscribed from Stephen a few months ago because he essentially said anyone who doesn't like the latest Doctor Who is a Racist and or Homophobe which really stuck in my throat as a disgusting thing to say, He didn't quite say it like I stated it was more like "If you don't like him, why else must you not like them other than being a Racist and or Homophobe" despite his whole thing being "Modern Doctor Who Acting, Direction and Writing being disgustingly awful" he sure changed his tune once the news told him to. When I saw this whole situation my stomach dropped to the floor and felt sick...
Used to love this guy when I was a kid getting into Doctor Who, I was in shock when I first heard the news. I hope Natalie's family can find peace, and that Stephen gets what's coming
@@ireallyreallyreallylikethisimg Well, to be fair, if he's rehabilitated by that time, it's fine. That's why most prisons in Europe are better than those in the US; They actually try to rehabilitate people. The question is of course if he even CAN be rehabilitated. Only time can tell.
this story really struck me. I’ve actually interacted with Stephen McCullagh (VoteSaxon07) for a few years through his streams. Been in the same community as him for several years too and have met him when he came to London for Comic Con. what’s also sad is that Stephen had a very close friend called Anthony who did videos together with him (The Doctor Who Spoilerific Reviews on Stephen’s channel) and before this happened he was a very upbeat, funny and just all round happy guy and since the news came out he’s basically gone into a deep depression and has even said he doesn’t want to wake up anymore. I just hope that the lives ruined by Stephen can get justice. Edit: others have informed me that thankfully people have reached out to Anthony and he now seems to be doing better.
That close friend of Stephen is a fucking drama queen. Sure, it's awful that he killed someone but this friend has no direct connection to the murder other than he knew the guy. Sounds like this friend needs to grow the fuck up and get over himself. He's gonna be ok, unlike the woman that got murdered.
It seems like Anthony has left the internet as he’s deleted his Twitter and removed all of his TH-cam videos (many of them featured Stephen so I’m not surprised). I just hope he’s ok.
I never thought this would ever happen. I used to watch him when I was younger and was just getting into Doctor Who. Rest in peace to Natalie and her unborn child. I'm still in shock about this.
@@Am-Shak I'm not seeking attention. It's just that it's crazy when someone you watched in your childhood turns out to be a murderer. Like you don't expect those kinds of things to happen (unless you had a more cynical view of the world).
The other main scary part was him "accidentally" flashing a "no time to die" poster on the screen, supposedly around the time he would have been in her house during the livestream. Lots of unhinged moments in there from what I saw, he basically made himself look way worse doing it, even if it helped him in the short term.
Instead of this video being used to give him an alibi. It will now most likely be one of the key pieces of evidence to prove at least second-degree murder
I was very proud to see almost all of Doctor Who TH-cam's biggest names immediately posting their condolences to Natalie's family after the news broke. I never particularly watched VoteSaxon07, but he was referred to fairly often by others, and I was as shocked as everybody else. Justice for Natalie.
The most chilling thing is, how premeditated this MURDER was! This was not an act of passion but preplanned under the belief that he would get away with it. Imagine if he did get away with it? Whose to say he wouldn’t do this to another person?!? Thank goodness all those involved in the investigation did an ace job! May the victim rest easy and her family are given the time and space they need to grieve.
@@armintor2826 depends on your local law but in most countries yes, crimes that were planned out tend to carry longer or harsher punishment that Spur of the moment emotional crimes
I love how mature Charlie is whenever it’s a truly awful situation. Like if it’s about a company being stupid he’s much more lighthearted but when it’s murder or other awful shit he drops that and acts very mature. Thank you and I’m proud of you Charlie.
Couldn't believe the news when I heard it. Its a big story here in Ireland, the fact this happened 10 minutes from where I live is shocking. Its horrible thinking that someone so cruel and disgusting can exist in the community here. Thoughts and condolences for the McNally family absolutely heartbroken for their loss 🙏
The one thing we can be thankful for about this. Is atleast you and i live in countries where this kind of thing is a shock horror and not a common occurance.
The fact he mentioned her name in the "livestream" and also says that police cant solve files anymore show he is proud for his job. He feels like a 100 iq killer. That man would kill again if he does not end up in prison
Why isn’t Charlie covering the Pfizer executive busted for admitting that they are deliberately mutating Covid to sell their drugs? That is way more evil than this topic.
This whole situation pains me so so much, because I watch Steven as a kid all the time, his doctor who toy reviews gave me a new appreciations for the series and for how nice it is to hear some one talk about their interests, but to know he was capable of this just hurts.
I mean anyone’s capable of murdering someone in grand reality it’s not that hard. Unless you have morals and this dude is a Moral-less piece of human trash.
I'm a big Doctor Who fan, so I used to watch his content for years. His actions are pure evil, and I can't believe I ever thought of him as a decent bloke.
The creepiest thing about this is that I have thought about this before, like "would that be a golden ticket out of a murder case if you set this up as an alibi and had like pre-planned messages in the chat to respond to or like an exact phone call to match up to reports?" And to think someone would actually try it is haunting
@@-Roche- Nah it's not completely natural. It's a rather niche concept that most people don't even consider at any point in their life. Not everyone sits around trying to think about how to get away with murder.
@@aSinisterKiid You can play internet psychologist in the youtube comments all you want but you're still wrong. Also how are you gonna claim most people haven't thought about it? Have you interviewed everyone in the world except me?
We were watching all this on the news here and keeping up with what was happening with it, surprised to see Charlie cover it cause people usually don't care about Ireland so thanks. Also one thing to mention that we saw watching our news, this guy was evil enough to turn up to McNally's Vigil and even chat away to her parents after the murder.
@@christiangasior4244 yep, when it’s a premeditated murder they’re always proud of what they’ve done and will always admire their work up close, compared to someone who kills in the moment and might feel guilty
This murder actually happened in my hometown, apparently the man was her boyfriend and even attended her funeral under false pretences without anyone knowing he was the muderer
This happened 10 minutes from my house. Everyone was talking about it and people were concerned 7 weeks had gone by with no clear suspect. Feel so bad for the family as he was at the funeral, in their house, and made a video about her life that was played at a vigil that was held for her. So sick. I've also heard from friends in the police that he can't be charged with the murder of the unborn baby, which seems really wrong too. I just hope he gets life without parole in prison and has an awful existence for the rest of his life
yeah because murder of an unborn baby isnt a thing, murder of a pregnant woman could be a dedicated crime but otherwise you would have to define if its a life or not and then you would have to define when life begins, which you know, is BS used to basically control woman having babies they don’t want, not so fun fact is that murder is actually the most common cause of death of pregnant women
@@topgeorge6908 i don’t know the laws where they’re at about things like murdering someone who is pregnant, but there is a pretty big difference between someone else brutally taking the life of an expecting mother and her baby and a woman legally choosing what to do with her own body
So, i've been friends with Stephen for about several years now. I think the most bone chilling thing about this whole thing is that he just continued to post, and have a severely huge online presence, like NOTHING HAPPENED. He continued uploading, posting on social media. Hell, his most recent personal Facebook post was on the 26th of January. The fact that he was hoping he could ride this out for that long is disgusting. Hope justice is served. In the end, he wanted a lot of people noticing him. Guess he got his wish. My thoughts are with Natalie's family.
As gross as that is, that’s probably the smart thing to do. If he had started reacting differently, it would bring even more suspicion on him. It’s chilling to think about. I hope they consider it pre-meditated and he gets put away for a long while.
Honestly, horrors of this story aside, the fact that he believed it would work for a second as an alibi despite how unusual and suspicious a chat-less stream is in the first place, how awkwardly acted his "technical issues" were, how many evidence he sloppily left behind, and especially how he kept a full proof of his forgery on his computer makes this whole charade sad. He must absolutely have felt like a genius while putting his plan together, but it's the most predictable outcome you could come up with with that kind of setup and anyone with a tiny bit of technical knowledge could immediately disprove that alibi completely. He could have not bothered with the whole livestream part in the first place and he would have had a better chance at getting away with it ; I guess in the end it's almost a good thing he put so much effort into incriminating himself, if you ignore how messed up attempting to implicate his own viewers into his crime is.
I imagine that your mind stops working properly when you're about to murder someone. I know when I'm heavily stressed, I start doing things that don't really make sense and also become less careful. I can't even imagine the amount of stress that murdering someone would cause.
Well an stream as alibi isnt that impossible. But i guess it needs a shitton of planning, and exact skript. First take a game where you cant tab out properly, because it would bug out. Any old game. Stream it for some time. And i mean like weeks. Then destroy your second monitor "accidentally" while livestreaming. Order a new one live. Choose one with a bit of delivery time, i mean you will use it as your new main screen so why not choose a good one. The two weeks with only one monitor are fine, you can read chat on your phone, right? Now we get to the core. Record a "livestream". Interact with one or two chat messages in the beginning, maybe another one 20 minutes in. Say how sad you are, but apparently the phone didnt properly charge, due to a faulty usb cable. So no more reading chat on phone. After all that recording, play it on livestream. Send the messages you interact with on the video yourself, with a second account. And you are free to go. Destroy the USB-Stick completely. Not in the microwave, one can proove that you destroyed electronics in there. But just to be clear: I dont think that would work. For so many reasons. You will still be seen. Im sure twitch can find out whether it was prerecorded or live, by some technical data like framerate and how stable that was, the source of the stream or whatever. NEver streamed so idk. And the second acc you interacted with on stream will eventually be traced back to you. So yeah, better, but still wont really work But still, this dude is completely stupid and did it the most retarded way.
I know we tend to joke about stuff like this and then kind of just forget about it within an hour and go on with our lives. But seeing a man on camera film a deliberately fake live stream hinting that he is going to murder someone and that same person is found later stabbed to death and you know that HE did it is just freaking terrifying and sickening. I mean you are literally looking at a man who is about to commit a murder and is completely aware of it. God Bless that poor family…
This is so depressing to hear. This guy was a part of my childhood I use to love his videos on the new doctor who toys and replicas. My heart goes out to Natalie's family and I hope they get justice for the sickening thing he did.
I was on a podcast with this guy a few years ago. I'm so totally surprised Charlie has covered what's happening here in Northern Ireland but so glad he did. Truly a despicable situation.
@@washingmachinedoesntneedme4947 According to what people have said, he’s “incredibly nice” from how he seems on camera, it’s possible he was good at faking his personality.
@@keycrafter7471 yeah its getting to the point where I think I should stop putting faith in random people online that I kinda like just based off of the content they make, respect the art not the artist I guess
I've noticed people go to great lengths to make the most routine and innocent things shady. I once scoffed at that notion thinking, "now, why would someone put that much effort into a lie, and while risking looking like a dumbass if their lies are seen and exposed?" But it would turn out that I was giving humanity too much credit
As a massive fan of doctor who I watched all his vids, I was such a huge fan of his, hearing this news hurt me so much, I remember tuning into the stream a few times and knowing what that stream truly was covering up is actually horrifying, I hope the victims family get the justice they deserve and I hope he’s locked up for a long fucking time, rest in peace Natalie
I remember watching him a lot and he was one of the main reasons how I got into doctor who and started collection things. When I saw the thumbnail of this video and saw his face I realized how familiar it was seeing it again and now actually knowing it's him is just crazy to me. I used to be a fan of his stuff so hearing this now is kinda devastating, I would've never expected someone like him to do that to someone. Rest in peace to Natalie and I wish for the best to the family and hope they get justice for Natalie's death.
Thank you for covering this case. It happened very close to me and it's beyond heartbreaking. Your helping people to remember Natalie's name, so thank you for that.
This is frightening. If he is the murderer, the fact that he had a fake livestream not only saved on his computer, but just sitting there for so long, is very damning
Its a bot, btw, hope your dad is able to recover from this, got no doubt he's probably going crazy mentally speaking seeing as his friend murdered someone
@@warmateo6261 More like influencers are people too, and with such a large sample pool, there will of course be criminals among them - it may just seem like a lot because, as celebrities, their crimes get way more media coverage than normal
Of all TH-camrs who committed the murder, I did not expect to see someone I recognized. Watched his reviews of those Doctor Who sonic screwdriver TV remotes like 6+ years ago. Still have those remotes as well. It's a sick feeling knowing someone seemingly innocuous had sone something so horrible. He's straight-up evil.
The fake stream he made for an alibi, rather than get him off the hook, proves that he premeditated the murder and therefore he can't even go for an insanity defense. He's like a Phoenix Wright villain. The next Twitch Killer will script replies to chat and have chatbots ask questions at the right time to make it more convincing (or even use an AI to make entire fake chat members.) He'll still be found out because the recording and the chatbots will be discovered during investigation.
My son had literally just sent me one of this guy's videos about lightsaber replicas to watch last week. So when I see this thumbnail I'm like "why does that guy look so familiar?" Then my stomach dropped. We're both horrified and send our condolences to her family. My god.
Pretty crazy the irony, he kept reminding everyone he couldn't read chat thinking he would be producing a fool-proof alibi; when in reality, that almost proves he premeditated the murder.
The fact that Charlie's twitch chat can get news this fast shows that at least some of them could probably do well in the investigation field, impressive. Hopefully Natalie's family can get through this and stay strong.
Isnt it just chance? With enough people, someone is going to get lucky. It's not necessarily the same person getting all the information quickly all the time.
@@NihongoWakannai the person who commented in chat lives in Ireland, the case is huge there, and found out from their boyfriend, who used to be a really big fan of the guy. Apparently their first instinct was to check if Charlie was talking about it, and typed it in chat.
The fact he done it just is disgusting, especially to a woman 15 weeks pregnant. I live in Northern Ireland, believe me when I tell you, if he by chance managed to get away with it, there's people who will get him, anyone from the North or South know that.
@@benadkins8153 known the man for 10 years. Was very family oriented especially with his mom and dad. I genuinely can not understand why he would do something like this. Not sure I feel comfortable with him saying my name on some of his videos and how deceitful he tried to make the livestream video.
Im so sorry man.I was such a big fan of his,I remember literally counting down the mins for his dr who spoilerific reviews.Literally the whole reason i kept up with the show for a while.Genuinely lost for words rn…
@@UniverseIndistries Honestly I feel so much for Anthony. That man has to be absolutely crushed right now, antweight anarchy is tainted by this and he was so close to Stephen. I hope he's doing alright with all of this.
I used to watch his videos years ago and I cannot describe the shock when I just saw this video pop up with his face on it. My blood has literally run cold.
As someone who used to live in Ireland, and has Northern Irish family, this was… eerie. The accent seems so familiar and friendly to me, because it sounds like a lot of my family, but knowing that this guy killed an innocent woman, maybe not far from my own family, is just so shocking and weird to me. My heart goes out to the McNally family.
Found his channel due to my obsession with Battlebots and robot combat in general. Never thought he would do something like this. Hope the family recovers as best as they can
The fact he said Natalie in the live stream is crazy. Luckily, evil people can't ever shut up because they are either tormented or proud of themselves.
@@Songbearer actually yeah I am convinced now, thought it just sounded that way because of the accent but the little laugh he does right before he says it is a giveaway fs
I remember seeing the news articles around the time, checked out the stream myself and around the 3-hour mark gave me literal chills. He's so callous in the way he talks about his victim.
This guy's plan is REALLY easy to see through, what sold him out is the fact that he kept mentioning the "i am live, i cannot see the chat" over and over
This is...really disgusting. As a Whovian, I have watched VoteSaxon for years, his Doctor Who toy reviews were a massive part of my childhood and I saw him as one of the very best of the Doctor Who community. Frankly, I can't believe what he was hiding. It is absolutely sickening that he thought he could get away with this, what a disgusting man, it's a damn shame that I thought he was such a good guy.
I've kinda dipped out of the who community over the last couple of years, but I did used to watch him quite often, It's never something you'd expect out of such a a niche youtube community just because of how small it is.
@@zeronikku3549 I remember a video of him smashing a sonic screwdriver ( i think it was one of the first releases of jodies) and thinking he's acting villainous (y'know destroying the screwdriver, villian behavior) but I never thought this would happen. He'll probably blame a drumbeat in his head
People can be kind and positive in some sectors of their lives and then broken in others. We are complex beings and we cannot fathom how deep some traumas or beliefs go. I've been through a couple of ringers where people I knew have turned out to be morally deplorable. It happens to us all.
I live in N.Ireland, and we have been waiting for someone to be caught for this crime...Truly awful. Completely bizarre for Charlie to be making me aware of the details! It must have been someone local that forwarded him the news, as it has been a constant local news story and on social media.
I hope Natalie’s family can get at least a bit of closure and I hope this man gets put behind bars for a LONG time. It’s truly heartbreaking that they’ve lost not just Natalie, but a future member of their family as well.
Its really sickening that he recorded the video days before he committed the murder because it shows he had a multi step plan of how he was gonna get away with it
I saw the thumbnail and immediately recognized this guy, I used to watch his channel all the time as a kid. I still occasionally binge his videos. It's hard to believe that a youtuber I looked up to as a kid could possibly do something like this.
This actually got to me because I used to watch Stephen way back then, and to see him do this is just horrifying. I do hope justice comes to Natalie and her family.
I met Stephen irl at a small event once, we existed in the same TH-cam circle (Robot Wars/Battlebots) and he even appeared on one of the tv shows. Safe to say the community was rocked by the news as he was for us one of the biggest creators so to see he could do something so heinous was chilling. I had a feeling when it went out that you'd cover it. What happened to Natalie is still hard to fully process but I truly hope justice is swift and brutal, for everything the friends and family he has put through and for Natalie herself.
@@ninjafrog6966 Until a verdict has been made, it is still *technically* only an accusation. Not gonna lie though, from the evidence its extremely likely he did it.
@@ninjafrog6966 more accurately he should have said "Soon to be jailed" or if you really wanna go that far, "Soon to be convicted and put behind bars for the rest of his life"
What makes it so evil is how premeditated it is! That’s not in a fit of rage or moment of insanity! That’s cold and calculated! And the arrogance or mentioning her name in the “live” stream? That’s a proper psycho
I will admit, when you said "the answer is far simpler than you think," I was fully guessing that he did do a livestream, but left for an extended BRB in the middle of it, and the police determined that he committed the murder during said BRB. It never even occurred to me that the entire "stream" could've been pre-recorded.
I guessed that it was prerecorded as soon as he said that. Uploading prerecorded content as a live stream has been a thing on TH-cam for a few years now.
@@CrystalRose1111 Even so, "someone made a 6 hour pre-recorded video pretending it was a live stream so that he could avoid being arrested for murder" isn't exactly a common occurence.
@@Legoguy9875 In the case of murder, no it’s not common. Maybe it’s because I’m on TH-cam too much, it just made sense in the context of it being “far simpler than you think”. It just clicked for me, since content creators release prerecorded stuff live on YT all the time. The killer is a content creator so 🤷♀️ lol
I heard about this when the news broke, ive been watching him on and off for years. When i saw the news i didnt know how to react, now knowing what we know, i hope nothing but the worse for him and the best for the loved ones of the victim
I'm the same, although Votesaxon07 has influenced me permanently, contributing to me being a collector myself and my mild obsession with Sonic Screwdriver replicas that I've had for nearly 15 years. It has all left a sour taste in my mouth.
Im horrified to have seen this on the news here in the UK. I found out through Doctor Who Twitter, and whilst growing up, I used to really enjoy watching hes videos as a collector of doctor who stuff too. Utterly horrified and shocked.
This is one of the most demented and evil things I’ve seen. I’m usually not sensitive to things like this, but dropping her name during the stream and bugging her parents is insane..
I follow a few Doctor Who content creators on Twitter, one of them being an old classmate of mine, so when this news dropped, it was really sad to see their reactions start rolling in. Some of these people knew this bastard and I feel awful for them, I can't imagine finding out that a friend murdered someone. As a fandom, we do not claim him. I hope they put him in general population and let the other inmates know what he did. My heart is with Natalie's family, such a tragedy.
I feel sickened that I was ever in the process of starting collabs with this guy. Maybe moving to England was a blessing in disguise as its the only reason I never carried on to do so with Stephen. Even now I can't bring myself to remove him from Facebook having known him these years, just so's I can have the satisfaction of hearing the end of the case and his words to validate my disappointment in a man I would have called a friend.
When I first saw this, I was absolutely horrified. I had watched his videos ever since I was 9 years old. His videos were a massive part of my TH-cam childhood. I’m a massive Doctor Who fan who loved the toys but could never get a hold of many because of their price, so how I could experience & see the toys I didn’t have was by looking at figure reviews & stop motion videos with the toys. His videos were a massive part in that. It was through his videos I got to see the toys I wanted so much in detail. It wasn’t just that though. I was introduced to Robot Wars by his channel, I watched all his big review videos on TV & film, and his yearly fan movies which I found so funny & entertaining as a child. Yes as I grew up, I did grow away from his videos. When you get older, one tends to not care much about toys & cheesy fan movies anymore. But I still checked in every now & than, checking out what he thought of the new Doctor Who episode, what new thing he had in his collection, and when he actually appeared on Robot Wars a few years back, I was so happy for him. But now all those childhood memories are now sour & foul & feel gross to even think about. To think that someone I admired, liked & supported was someone who was capable of doing all of this is just so disgusting! To murder someone who was 15 weeks pregnant, to spy on the family afterwards, to continue uploading videos as if nothing had changed, to fake a livestream beforehand & to leave small sadistic comments & jokes all over it that hint to what he was going to do, it’s absolutely horrific & inhumane! My heart goes out to the family of Natalie, their friends & everyone else effected by it. I hope justice prevails and that all those hurt by this get some form of peace. R.I.P
People change, maybe the guy you were watching at that time wouldn't be able to murder someone, even without premeditation. I don't know, I'm just trying to make you feel better about those memories. (I know I'm super late, sorry, but if my comment is irrelevant that means you made peace with your memories so it's cool)
Same here I used to watch his doctor who stuff all the time. I also recently started watching him again about a year ago. I just found out about this because I wanted to see if he did a review on the new sonic screwdriver and it makes me sick to my stomach.

Yup! He was the one that tried to use it as his alibi… innocent people don’t need to lie so obviously he’s guilty in some fashion if he’s lying about where he is. I 100% think he did it, there’s too much evidence there.

Ehk.. furry
As a student in his final year of law school, there are some mind-bogglingly incompetent lawyers out there. The best thing to do when your client is almost certainly guilty is to shut up and work on mitigating circumstances.
He probably thought he was a genius for pre-recording a video to fake a livestream for an alibi but ultimately he set himself up for an inescapable first degree murder charge because that is irrevocable proof of premeditation.
the alibi he created was pure dunning kruger. police figured it out in like 5 seconds lol

He seemed pretty intoxicated to me
Thats why its called first degree, baby
It's a limited plus side, but a positive here in regards to getting justice for his poor victim is that the demonstrably false livestream is likely a great case for the argument of premeditation. The guy who goes out of their way to construct an alibi for murder, demonstrating literal calculated forethought and planning isn't gonna get away with arguing it was an unplanned act, driven by emotion.

Not saying she couldn't just be an innocent victim but most people don't just target someone to murder on a whim.
The fact that a TH-camr I grew up watching not only murdered a pregnant woman, but planned it at least *days* in advance, is honestly terrifying, and I feel sick for having supported him - especially now knowing that some of my words of encouragement were given after he cruelly stole an innocent life and an unborn one.

We were watching all this on the news here and keeping up with what was happening with it, surprised to see Charlie cover it cause people usually don't care about Ireland so thanks.
Also one thing to mention that we saw watching our news, this guy was evil enough to turn up to McNally's Vigil and even chat away to her parents after the murder.
jesus i heard this on the news but I would never think that critical would cover it
@@tango_cathal2029 right? horrible act but im glad charlies able to talk about it
They almost always show up to the vigil/funeral
@@christiangasior4244 yep, when it’s a premeditated murder they’re always proud of what they’ve done and will always admire their work up close, compared to someone who kills in the moment and might feel guilty
Why did he kill her ? Was that his gf or wife ?
This murder actually happened in my hometown, apparently the man was her boyfriend and even attended her funeral under false pretences without anyone knowing he was the muderer
This happened 10 minutes from my house. Everyone was talking about it and people were concerned 7 weeks had gone by with no clear suspect. Feel so bad for the family as he was at the funeral, in their house, and made a video about her life that was played at a vigil that was held for her. So sick. I've also heard from friends in the police that he can't be charged with the murder of the unborn baby, which seems really wrong too. I just hope he gets life without parole in prison and has an awful existence for the rest of his life
yes it was weird when it was obvious someone close to her did it and the police had no suspect ...i guess we know why he was let go at first
if he was charged with murder of the unborn baby then everyone getting abortions would also have to get murder charges
yeah because murder of an unborn baby isnt a thing, murder of a pregnant woman could be a dedicated crime but otherwise you would have to define if its a life or not and then you would have to define when life begins, which you know, is BS used to basically control woman having babies they don’t want, not so fun fact is that murder is actually the most common cause of death of pregnant women
@@topgeorge6908 i don’t know the laws where they’re at about things like murdering someone who is pregnant, but there is a pretty big difference between someone else brutally taking the life of an expecting mother and her baby and a woman legally choosing what to do with her own body
@@topgeorge6908 It actually is often considered double-homicide in the states if I'm not mistaken... This didn't take place in the U.S. though.
So, i've been friends with Stephen for about several years now. I think the most bone chilling thing about this whole thing is that he just continued to post, and have a severely huge online presence, like NOTHING HAPPENED. He continued uploading, posting on social media. Hell, his most recent personal Facebook post was on the 26th of January.
The fact that he was hoping he could ride this out for that long is disgusting. Hope justice is served.
In the end, he wanted a lot of people noticing him.
Guess he got his wish.
My thoughts are with Natalie's family.
Imagine how many fucks do this and carry on forever with no care in the world
Can't even begin to imagine how you've been dealing with all this, just an awful thing to find out :(
As gross as that is, that’s probably the smart thing to do. If he had started reacting differently, it would bring even more suspicion on him. It’s chilling to think about. I hope they consider it pre-meditated and he gets put away for a long while.
What... Like literally what else would he do instead? Why are you shocked that hes not walking around with a giant poster saying "I dun it"???
@@joycereed6952 He could have offed himself and saved the police some trouble.
Honestly, horrors of this story aside, the fact that he believed it would work for a second as an alibi despite how unusual and suspicious a chat-less stream is in the first place, how awkwardly acted his "technical issues" were, how many evidence he sloppily left behind, and especially how he kept a full proof of his forgery on his computer makes this whole charade sad. He must absolutely have felt like a genius while putting his plan together, but it's the most predictable outcome you could come up with with that kind of setup and anyone with a tiny bit of technical knowledge could immediately disprove that alibi completely.
He could have not bothered with the whole livestream part in the first place and he would have had a better chance at getting away with it ; I guess in the end it's almost a good thing he put so much effort into incriminating himself, if you ignore how messed up attempting to implicate his own viewers into his crime is.
I imagine that your mind stops working properly when you're about to murder someone. I know when I'm heavily stressed, I start doing things that don't really make sense and also become less careful. I can't even imagine the amount of stress that murdering someone would cause.
He has all his Christmas stuff still out with the hat on
He's definitely disproving the common misconception that psychopaths are good manipulators.
Well an stream as alibi isnt that impossible.
But i guess it needs a shitton of planning, and exact skript.
First take a game where you cant tab out properly, because it would bug out. Any old game. Stream it for some time. And i mean like weeks.
Then destroy your second monitor "accidentally" while livestreaming. Order a new one live. Choose one with a bit of delivery time, i mean you will use it as your new main screen so why not choose a good one. The two weeks with only one monitor are fine, you can read chat on your phone, right?
Now we get to the core. Record a "livestream". Interact with one or two chat messages in the beginning, maybe another one 20 minutes in. Say how sad you are, but apparently the phone didnt properly charge, due to a faulty usb cable. So no more reading chat on phone. After all that recording, play it on livestream. Send the messages you interact with on the video yourself, with a second account. And you are free to go. Destroy the USB-Stick completely. Not in the microwave, one can proove that you destroyed electronics in there.
But just to be clear: I dont think that would work. For so many reasons. You will still be seen. Im sure twitch can find out whether it was prerecorded or live, by some technical data like framerate and how stable that was, the source of the stream or whatever. NEver streamed so idk. And the second acc you interacted with on stream will eventually be traced back to you. So yeah, better, but still wont really work But still, this dude is completely stupid and did it the most retarded way.
When you read about murderers, you begin to realize that many of them are not deep thinkers.
I know we tend to joke about stuff like this and then kind of just forget about it within an hour and go on with our lives. But seeing a man on camera film a deliberately fake live stream hinting that he is going to murder someone and that same person is found later stabbed to death and you know that HE did it is just freaking terrifying and sickening. I mean you are literally looking at a man who is about to commit a murder and is completely aware of it. God Bless that poor family…
This is so depressing to hear. This guy was a part of my childhood I use to love his videos on the new doctor who toys and replicas. My heart goes out to Natalie's family and I hope they get justice for the sickening thing he did.

This is truly sickening. The length that people go to hide their evilness is absolutely astonishing.
I've noticed people go to great lengths to make the most routine and innocent things shady. I once scoffed at that notion thinking, "now, why would someone put that much effort into a lie, and while risking looking like a dumbass if their lies are seen and exposed?"
But it would turn out that I was giving humanity too much credit

Omg same here, I loved doctor who and child me watched this channel for the toy reviews lmao. Real crazy to see.
Of all TH-camrs who committed the murder, I did not expect to see someone I recognized. Watched his reviews of those Doctor Who sonic screwdriver TV remotes like 6+ years ago. Still have those remotes as well.
It's a sick feeling knowing someone seemingly innocuous had sone something so horrible. He's straight-up evil.
This happened not even a mile from my home. We're all terrified and heartbroken.
I also live very locally, it’s heartbreaking but i’m so glad that it’s finally gaining attention internationally. I hope he rots
Scary stuff dude, hope your alright. Things always seem that much more real when their close to you.
Same here. He's actually my mum's cousin but have never met him. Disgusting man.
Same here. Absolutely mental stuff
We don’t cares
The fake stream he made for an alibi, rather than get him off the hook, proves that he premeditated the murder and therefore he can't even go for an insanity defense. He's like a Phoenix Wright villain.
The next Twitch Killer will script replies to chat and have chatbots ask questions at the right time to make it more convincing (or even use an AI to make entire fake chat members.) He'll still be found out because the recording and the chatbots will be discovered during investigation.
Yeah that's what I'll do... I mean what I would hypothetically do 😏
he reminds me of furio tigre in the tres bien case, acting out the death of the victim just for a witness
The next one will probably get his bffs to help cover it up for him with promises that he will “pay” them back in the future.

Pretty crazy the irony, he kept reminding everyone he couldn't read chat thinking he would be producing a fool-proof alibi; when in reality, that almost proves he premeditated the murder.

Covert narcissism and sociopathy is a venomous combination of evil
The fact he done it just is disgusting, especially to a woman 15 weeks pregnant. I live in Northern Ireland, believe me when I tell you, if he by chance managed to get away with it, there's people who will get him, anyone from the North or South know that.
its so sickening that he had to prerecord that live stream for hours on end and still went through with the murder
Was a prior friend of mine, lent him some rare props from Doctor who to review. Can’t believe he has done this, absolutely horrific what he has done.
I used to watch his videos a lot for his sonic screwdriver reviews, it feels really weird knowing that I loved those videos
@@benadkins8153 known the man for 10 years. Was very family oriented especially with his mom and dad. I genuinely can not understand why he would do something like this.

AND on top of that, he screwed Anthony and their own battle bots channel and Facebook page to boot because of it too.

Thank you for covering this case- really distressing. Let’s hope justice is served for Natalie and her family
This is the type of case Columbo would solve in an episode
I used to watch his videos years ago and I cannot describe the shock when I just saw this video pop up with his face on it. My blood has literally run cold.
As someone who used to live in Ireland, and has Northern Irish family, this was… eerie. The accent seems so familiar and friendly to me, because it sounds like a lot of my family, but knowing that this guy killed an innocent woman, maybe not far from my own family, is just so shocking and weird to me. My heart goes out to the McNally family.
His voice is why as a kid I'd watch him instead of the other Doctor who reviews... this guy was my childhood
Goddamn, this news is heartbreaking. I used to watch this guy all the time when I got into Doctor Who. My heart goes out to the victim's family :(
Am
Found his channel due to my obsession with Battlebots and robot combat in general. Never thought he would do something like this. Hope the family recovers as best as they can
The fact he said Natalie in the live stream is crazy. Luckily, evil people can't ever shut up because they are either tormented or proud of themselves.
Sounded to me like he was saying "absofuckingnotly" like absolutely fucking not
@@michaelwilkins1664 he did the first time round, but the second time he says it he definitely said "absofuckin-atalie". I missed it too initially.
@@Songbearer actually yeah I am convinced now, thought it just sounded that way because of the accent but the little laugh he does right before he says it is a giveaway fs

@Patrick39 Can yall stfu
@MSMEG IX earn your subscribers the normal way you guys are pissing me off
This guy's plan is REALLY easy to see through, what sold him out is the fact that he kept mentioning the "i am live, i cannot see the chat" over and over
He’s going through so much effort to cover his tracks when he could have just not murdered someone and life would’ve been 1000x easier.
This is...really disgusting. As a Whovian, I have watched VoteSaxon for years, his Doctor Who toy reviews were a massive part of my childhood and I saw him as one of the very best of the Doctor Who community. Frankly, I can't believe what he was hiding. It is absolutely sickening that he thought he could get away with this, what a disgusting man, it's a damn shame that I thought he was such a good guy.
I've kinda dipped out of the who community over the last couple of years, but I did used to watch him quite often, It's never something you'd expect out of such a a niche youtube community just because of how small it is.
His online handle was VoteSaxon though. You really should have seen this coming.
@@zeronikku3549 I remember a video of him smashing a sonic screwdriver ( i think it was one of the first releases of jodies) and thinking he's acting villainous (y'know destroying the screwdriver, villian behavior) but I never thought this would happen. He'll probably blame a drumbeat in his head
People can be kind and positive in some sectors of their lives and then broken in others. We are complex beings and we cannot fathom how deep some traumas or beliefs go. I've been through a couple of ringers where people I knew have turned out to be morally deplorable. It happens to us all.
@@BauKim i mean yeah, but most of our traumas and beliefs don't involve murdering people
I live in N.Ireland, and we have been waiting for someone to be caught for this crime...Truly awful. Completely bizarre for Charlie to be making me aware of the details! It must have been someone local that forwarded him the news, as it has been a constant local news story and on social media.
I hope Natalie’s family can get at least a bit of closure and I hope this man gets put behind bars for a LONG time. It’s truly heartbreaking that they’ve lost not just Natalie, but a future member of their family as well.
4:46 "for some bloody reason" chilling pertinence of words.
Yeah, the reason was very bloody
Its really sickening that he recorded the video days before he committed the murder because it shows he had a multi step plan of how he was gonna get away with it
In a video where he incriminates himself again and again, using it as an alibi.
What a dum dum!
@@ThaTruFily Criminals are all very stupid.
I saw the thumbnail and immediately recognized this guy, I used to watch his channel all the time as a kid. I still occasionally binge his videos. It's hard to believe that a youtuber I looked up to as a kid could possibly do something like this.
This actually got to me because I used to watch Stephen way back then, and to see him do this is just horrifying. I do hope justice comes to Natalie and her family.
I met Stephen irl at a small event once, we existed in the same TH-cam circle (Robot Wars/Battlebots) and he even appeared on one of the tv shows. Safe to say the community was rocked by the news as he was for us one of the biggest creators so to see he could do something so heinous was chilling. I had a feeling when it went out that you'd cover it. What happened to Natalie is still hard to fully process but I truly hope justice is swift and brutal, for everything the friends and family he has put through and for Natalie herself.
I had to double check if its the same guy who reviewed battlebots episodes cuz his face looks similar. Turns out it is
I cannot describe how melted my brain became after I heard Steven was accused of murder having watched him years before this indecent
Not accused, he literally did it
@@ninjafrog6966 Until a verdict has been made, it is still *technically* only an accusation.
Not gonna lie though, from the evidence its extremely likely he did it.
@@The_Keeper he literally did it. I’m so tired of this “until a verdict” bullshit
@@ninjafrog6966 more accurately he should have said "Soon to be jailed" or if you really wanna go that far, "Soon to be convicted and put behind bars for the rest of his life"
Bro the “abso-fucking-natalie”, little chuckle, and taking a shot right after, is evil villain 101
What makes it so evil is how premeditated it is! That’s not in a fit of rage or moment of insanity! That’s cold and calculated! And the arrogance or mentioning her name in the “live” stream? That’s a proper psycho
I will admit, when you said "the answer is far simpler than you think," I was fully guessing that he did do a livestream, but left for an extended BRB in the middle of it, and the police determined that he committed the murder during said BRB. It never even occurred to me that the entire "stream" could've been pre-recorded.
I thought the same thing.
I guessed that it was prerecorded as soon as he said that. Uploading prerecorded content as a live stream has been a thing on TH-cam for a few years now.
@@CrystalRose1111 Even so, "someone made a 6 hour pre-recorded video pretending it was a live stream so that he could avoid being arrested for murder" isn't exactly a common occurence.
@@Legoguy9875 In the case of murder, no it’s not common. Maybe it’s because I’m on TH-cam too much, it just made sense in the context of it being “far simpler than you think”.

It’s crazy. I used to watch his reviews on Doctor Who episodes. I hope the family get justice
I heard about this when the news broke, ive been watching him on and off for years. When i saw the news i didnt know how to react, now knowing what we know, i hope nothing but the worse for him and the best for the loved ones of the victim
I used to watch this guy all the time when I was super into Doctor Who and loved his sonic screwdriver reviews. Wild how things work out...
I'm the same, although Votesaxon07 has influenced me permanently, contributing to me being a collector myself and my mild obsession with Sonic Screwdriver replicas that I've had for nearly 15 years. It has all left a sour taste in my mouth.
@@TheIshikawaRinSame here. I just learned about this whole thing because I wanted to see if he reviewed the new sonic screwdriver.
Im horrified to have seen this on the news here in the UK. I found out through Doctor Who Twitter, and whilst growing up, I used to really enjoy watching hes videos as a collector of doctor who stuff too. Utterly horrified and shocked.
This is one of the most demented and evil things I’ve seen. I’m usually not sensitive to things like this, but dropping her name during the stream and bugging her parents is insane..
I follow a few Doctor Who content creators on Twitter, one of them being an old classmate of mine, so when this news dropped, it was really sad to see their reactions start rolling in. Some of these people knew this bastard and I feel awful for them, I can't imagine finding out that a friend murdered someone.
As a fandom, we do not claim him. I hope they put him in general population and let the other inmates know what he did.

thank you for your service
I feel sickened that I was ever in the process of starting collabs with this guy. Maybe moving to England was a blessing in disguise as its the only reason I never carried on to do so with Stephen. Even now I can't bring myself to remove him from Facebook having known him these years, just so's I can have the satisfaction of hearing the end of the case and his words to validate my disappointment in a man I would have called a friend.
if overthinking were a person ^
When I first saw this, I was absolutely horrified. I had watched his videos ever since I was 9 years old. His videos were a massive part of my TH-cam childhood. I’m a massive Doctor Who fan who loved the toys but could never get a hold of many because of their price, so how I could experience & see the toys I didn’t have was by looking at figure reviews & stop motion videos with the toys. His videos were a massive part in that. It was through his videos I got to see the toys I wanted so much in detail. It wasn’t just that though. I was introduced to Robot Wars by his channel, I watched all his big review videos on TV & film, and his yearly fan movies which I found so funny & entertaining as a child.
Yes as I grew up, I did grow away from his videos. When you get older, one tends to not care much about toys & cheesy fan movies anymore. But I still checked in every now & than, checking out what he thought of the new Doctor Who episode, what new thing he had in his collection, and when he actually appeared on Robot Wars a few years back, I was so happy for him.
But now all those childhood memories are now sour & foul & feel gross to even think about. To think that someone I admired, liked & supported was someone who was capable of doing all of this is just so disgusting! To murder someone who was 15 weeks pregnant, to spy on the family afterwards, to continue uploading videos as if nothing had changed, to fake a livestream beforehand & to leave small sadistic comments & jokes all over it that hint to what he was going to do, it’s absolutely horrific & inhumane!
My heart goes out to the family of Natalie, their friends & everyone else effected by it. I hope justice prevails and that all those hurt by this get some form of peace.
R.I.P
People change, maybe the guy you were watching at that time wouldn't be able to murder someone, even without premeditation.
I don't know, I'm just trying to make you feel better about those memories.
(I know I'm super late, sorry, but if my comment is irrelevant that means you made peace with your memories so it's cool)
@@Tilithnyone can commit a murder
Even a 10yo girl. And yes, there are cases of 10yo who commited premedited murders.
Same here I used to watch his doctor who stuff all the time. I also recently started watching him again about a year ago. I just found out about this because I wanted to see if he did a review on the new sonic screwdriver and it makes me sick to my stomach.
