As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Molly McLaren with me today.

In June 2017, 23-year-old university student Molly McLaren was brutally murdered in broad daylight in a parking lot in Kent, England, by her ex-boyfriend Joshua Stimpson. Just 12 days earlier, Molly had ended their relationship after noticing increasingly controlling and obsessive behavior. She later reported him to police after he began stalking and harassing her online.

On the day of her death, Molly noticed Stimpson following her car. As she sat in her vehicle outside a gym, he attacked her with a knife, stabbing her more than 70 times while bystanders looked on helplessly. It was later revealed he had searched online for information on how to kill and what sentence he might receive.

At trial, Stimpson claimed diminished responsibility due to mental health issues, but the jury rejected this. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 26 years.
