Teenager who killed ex-girlfriend to win a bet for a free breakfast finally confesses to the murder
Joshua Davies was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the murder of ex-girlfriend Rebecca Alward. Close to eight years later, he's confessed.
A teenager who murdered his ex-girlfriend to win a bet over a breakfast has reportedly finally confessed to carrying out the killing, close to eight years after the gruesome incident took place.
Joshua Davies, of Aberkenfig, Wales, gained infamy in 2010 when he brutally assaulted and killed 15-year-old Rebecca Alward after a friend promised him a "free breakfast" if he carried out the deed.
Davies pleaded not guilty to the murder but a jury eventually found him responsible for the death following five weeks of trial in court in 2011. He was subsequently sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Now Alward's mother Sonia Oatley has revealed that Davies has confessed to his crime although he "enjoyed putting us through the ordeal" of the trial.
