Episode Details

A chilling New Year’s Day murder in Leeds: Scott Silkstone, 51, with no fixed address, was found guilty of brutally killing his flatmate Dwayne Tuohey, an amputee, in a savage, prolonged attack using household items and his own feet. The assault began after a tense New Year’s Eve, when CCTV captured Dwayne withdrawing cash — later found dead from injuries inflicted inside and outside their flat, including with his own prosthetic leg used as a weapon. Silkstone initially denied the crime, prolonging Dwayne’s family’s agony as the jury deliberated for two weeks. Now, justice has been served — Silkstone faces a murder sentence on September 7th, as investigators hope the verdict brings closure to Dwayne’s grieving loved ones after a horrific, degrading attack on a defenseless man.
