MURDERED: Rebecca Aylward (Prime Time True Crime)
Rebecca Aylward was brutally murdered with a rock in the woods near her house in South Wales on October 23, 2010, by her ex-boyfriend, Joshua Davies.
Despite the fact that they had only dated for around three months the year before, she and Joshua had known each other for several years.
Following their separation, Joshua allegedly joked with his buddies about murdering Rebecca, either by poisoning her or shoving her over a cliff.
Thinking it was a joke, one of his buddies promised to buy Joshua a large breakfast at their favorite café after he completed the deed.
Joshua texted his friend two days before the murder, saying quote, "don't say anything, but you may just owe me a breakfast." end quote.
During the trial, it was revealed that Joshua lured Rebecca into the woods and repeatedly beat her with a rugby ball-sized rock from behind.
He initially denied murdering Rebecca and even blamed a friend.
Joshua Davies was sentenced to life in prison with a mandatory minimum of 14 years.
Joshua confessed to the crime nearly 8 years later, in October of 2018, admitting he was the only one at fault.

The field of criminology involves a deep understanding of various elements. The Crime Scene serves as the initial point of investigation, often involving Forensic Analysis to uncover vital clues. A Homicide Detective will examine a Murder Mystery, trying to determine if they're dealing with a Serial Killer or a standalone incident. Cold Cases remain a challenge, with their lack of fresh DNA Evidence and Witness Testimony. In urban settings, the rising Crime Rate has necessitated increased Surveillance Camera installation and more stringent Crime Prevention measures. When apprehended, criminals turn to a Defense Attorney, hoping for a Plea Bargain or finding a Legal Loophole. In some intense situations, a Hostage Situation might arise, demanding a precise response from law enforcement. With evolving technology, Digital Forensics now plays a pivotal role in solving crimes that leave a digital footprint. All this data gets cataloged into a Crime Database, essential for future references. The Prosecution Team, armed with an Investigation Report, presents its case, hoping for a Guilty Verdict. Throughout this intricate process, the overarching goal remains to serve justice and ensure public safety.
During prime time crime broadcasts on networks like CNN, CBS News, and Court TV Live, viewers are captivated by true crime stories, especially when programs like "True Crime Daily" and "48 Hours" delve deep into chilling serial killers and cold cases; these segments, often sourced from detailed crime documentaries and true crime shorts, bring to light the intricate workings of the criminal justice system, a topic frequently discussed on the "Law and Crime Network." Following a murder trial's hearing, audiences eagerly anticipate updates from sources such as Daily Mail, or turn to "True Crime Podcast" episodes and serial killer documentaries for extended coverage. Influencers like Kendall Rae and Eleanor Neale have popularized the genre further with their insightful takes on crime stories, often revisiting unsolved mysteries or discussing the latest true crime documentary. "That Chapter" and "Prime Crime" notably contribute to this genre, presenting both new and old crime stories in a digestible format. As viewers become more engrossed with every murder mystery and cold case revelation, it becomes evident how deeply woven the true crime story narrative is within the fabric of our contemporary media culture.
