19. Livestreaming Killer: Would you kill for fame?

17 year old Bianca Devins鈥 death was brutally broadcast online

Early one morning in July 2019, Brandon Clark used his online platform to share graphic photos with his followers, including a photo that appeared to show a woman鈥檚 bloodied torso, captioned 鈥淚鈥檓 sorry Bianca鈥.

Not long after this, police found Brandon lying on top of a green tarp. He had spray-painted the words 鈥淢ay you never forget me鈥 on the ground. He had killed 17-year-old 鈥榤icro-influencer鈥 Bianca Devins.

Why did he choose to broadcast her murder? Sofie Hagen and Dr Julia Shaw discuss 鈥榚-girls鈥, research on jealousy and male proprietariness, and what we need to consider to avoid similar horrific acts happening in the future.

Warning: Contains strong language and references to violence and murder.
