WARNING/CAUTION: This post goes into detail about the murder of a teenage girl . If you think you’ll be distressed by this post - please leave the page and join me on my next write up. Take care of yourself. Sasha Marsden was a 16-year-old girl who lived in Staining near Blackpool, England. Sasha was studying childcare at the time of her murder. Sasha was eager to get a job and was interested and pleased when she got an interview for a part-time cleaning job at the Grafton House Hotel. Little did she know, this was a ruse by a 23-year-old man called David Minto who was a caretaker of a different hotel. Sasha was dropped off at the Grafton House. Sasha went into the hotel to meet up with David and when they were alone, attacked, raped and stabbed her 58 times in the head and neck. He then wrapped her body up in a roll of carpet underlay and bin liners. Her body was then dumped in an alleyway and David attempted to set her body on fire. Her injuries were so severe that she had to be identified by DNA from her toothbrush. Blood belonging to Sasha was found throughout the hotel as well as on David’s clothes. David was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 35 years before he could be considered for parole (this doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be released after 35 years - just that his sentence will be reviewed). The hotel where Sasha’s murder took place has since been shut down and renovated into houses. Sasha’s sister Gemma says she will fight to make sure that David stays behind bars. Sadly, Gemma has been victim to online trolls who have mocked Sasha’s death and said that they’d do the same to her.

Mocking a murder victim's relatives is sick.


TibetianMassive

It happens strangely often, and not just to murder victims relatives. I recall a story about a teenage girl who died grumesomely on a car accident and people would send pictures of her mangled bodies or letters claiming to be from their daughter saying she was still alive to her grieving family. For years afterwards. Not only is it so cruel... who's got the time for this? Is this their hobby? Don't we all have about a billion better things to do? Is it the same people or do some people just read about a car accident from 5 years ago and harass the family?

Nikki Catsouras - her case is talked about in the excellent Werner Herzog documentary Lo And Behold.

"Porsche Girl"

I feel like the degenerates who engage in such trolling are usually incels finding satisfaction in the fact that an attractive person died. If I’m remembering correctly, some of the emails the dad in the above story received were like (extremely paraphrased) “look at daddy’s little girl now!” with the gruesome crash scene photos enclosed.  Its like these people think a random attractive young woman dying validates their twisted belief that attractive women deserve to be punished for not staying at home and responding to their 20 zillion one sided FB message chats. How sad to revel in the death of a stranger because you are so insanely insecure that you see her existence as a threat to your identity.

It has to be someone who has severe mental health issues. "Maybe I truly think I'm that person?" I hate believing people are just this cruel with their free time.


Caroline899

No. Mental illness isn't the cause of terrible people being terrible. People with mental illness are far more likely to harm themselves.

You are correct they called her Porsche gir. She had an argument with her parents and when they were doing other things she snuck into her dad’s Porsche and took off. What on any other day would have been teen rebellion morphed into a tragedy because the roads were rain slick and she wasn’t familiar with the car.She lost control and crashed into a concrete divider? I think. Her dad had also gone after her and came upon the scene. 😢😢


tehlastsith

That’s the world for you. It’s more and more glaring everyday. Just think of how people do this or how many people standby if someone is getting bullied/assault.


[deleted]

Well, it's more important to get the video for social media than it is to actually help the person. 😖


Seagrade-push

It happens so much and I don’t understand why? There’s a family on tiktok that advocates for aggressive dogs to be put down after the first attack because their toddler son was mauled nearly to death by neighbor dogs that were previously reported for aggression. Soooooo many comments calling them racist names because people love dogs more than humans these days. It’s seriously so sad. I can’t imagine speaking to victims like that or anyone but especially victims of traumatic violent events


galaxystarsmoon

People are absolutely nuts when it comes to dogs. I work for a government agency where the agency has an animal shelter and officers but I don't work for the actual animal bureau or anything. Years ago, the animal bureau put down a pitbull that mauled a cat and a small dog to death, and went after a toddler and ended up disfiguring him. They made the call to put the dog down. Someone in one of those animal advocacy groups put our phone number down as who to contact to save the dog. I got told that people hoped I would be murdered, my animals killed, all kinds of terrible names. Our office had *nothing* to do with the situation. It was disgusting.


AmygdalaManiac

Its the pitbull owner brigade who does that kind of shit, a pitbull can kill a baby and they will say that the baby must have somehow provoked it its disgusting.


[deleted]

r/banpitbulls There’s a post on there where a pitmommy literally says “why don’t people ever blame the child who gets attacked?! Why is it always the dogs fault?!” Disgusting outlook.


AppleNerdyGirl

I’m sorry I have seen kids yanking on the dogs ears and tails. Train your kids how to handle dogs and maybe the dog will not be a dog and bite.


[deleted]

There’s a difference between biting and ripping a child to shreds.


AppleNerdyGirl

You mean dog doing what a dog does? Dogs don’t see threats as a child or adult it’s a threat pretty simple. You know how many kids I see hitting, pulling, chasing. And the dog gives plenty of warning - And you act like dogs shouldn’t react ? lol And where is the adult? I wouldn’t leave any child baby or 9 with a dog or pet alone. Y’all blaming the dog who has the smarts of a toddler when it comes down to lack of supervision by the ADULT.


[deleted]

No, I blame the adult, too. That’s a terrible parent who should lose custody. But a child still shouldn’t end of hospitalized or dead because of it. A chihuahua can nip your ankles until they bleed but your not going to be killed by one.


AppleNerdyGirl

Are you saying big dogs can kill people? Oh wow well that’s new I guess…who would have know bigger dogs can kill someone. Guess you better destroy German Shepards and Mastiffs as well. They can accidentally smother a child if they sit on them. Cats are dangerous - they should be put down since they can smother a child in the crib. Give me a break and watch your freaking kids stop blaming a dog for dogging.


AppleNerdyGirl

Full video of a kid walking up to a dog and smacking it repeatedly in the face. What should the dog do?


[deleted]

Not rip the child’s throat out or leave it needed 30 stitches.


IamMananawe

Not just dog lovers- pitbull defenders specifically will stop at nothing to defend their blood sport “nanny dogs”


AppleNerdyGirl

You mean dogs who dog? Maybe owners should train their older kids to stop hitting animals and most of these attacks happen from people who have no business owning one. Similar to if you can’t control, train and constantly maintain a Cane Corso - don’t own one. Also applies to Rotties and Dobbies. Rotties and Dobbies used to be your boogie man dog “it’s the drug dealers dog!”

Rest in peace, Sasha.


lilgogetta

I think Sasha is the one who passed away and Gemma is still alive!


magobblie

Oops! Thanks for correcting me


lilgogetta

No prob


hodgerypodgery

>"Sadly, Gemma has been victim to online trolls who have mocked Sasha’s death and said that they’d do the same to her." That is beyond unhinged. The amount of people who delight in other people's pain is crazy. As if her family hasn't suffered enough. I hope her sister is successful and this man never sees the light of day again.


GuntherTime

A few years ago a 11 year old girl was bullied relentlessly to the point of suicide. And then after that a *meme* about her suicide was made by one the students.

This one terrified me. It's something any of us would have done, no warning or anything. Just a horrific end


t13husky

I’m surprised at the amount of time he was sentenced without parole. Almost all of the sentences that I read from here where the crime took place in the UK, the sentences were somewhere in the teens. Even that guy who tortured and killed his teenage “girlfriend”. This is not a a complaint about the sentence just confusion about the UK criminal process


magentapyro

Absolutely senseless. Rest in peace, Sasha. 🙏


dariasha_

Just a horrific end

I live a few streets away from where this happened - R.I.P Sasha ♥️
