The murder of Sophie Lancaster occurred in England in August 2007.
The victim and her boyfriend, Robert Maltby, were attacked by a group of teenage boys while walking through Stubbylee Park in Bacup, Rossendale, Lancashire, on 11 August 2007.
SOPHIE LANCASTER was murdered in August 2007 after she and boyfriend Robert Maltby were beaten and left for dead by a gang of drunken yobs.
The horrific attack inspired a 2021 Coronation Street hate crime storyline, put together with the help of Sophie's mum Sylvia Lancaster, and still shocks the nation 16 years later.
Twenty-year-old Sophie Lancaster was a self-described "goth" who enjoyed dressing with dark clothes and wearing her dyed hair in dreadlocks.
On the night of August 11, 2007, the prospective English degree student was walking with her boyfriend Robert Maltby, 21, through Stubbylee Park in the small town of Bacup, Lancashire.
While making their way home the couple came across a group of youths at the entrance to the park who followed and talked to them with no trouble.
But without warning one of the gang began attacking Robert without provocation.
He was knocked to the ground and the sick gang set upon him, kicking him repeatedly in the head and knocking him unconscious.
Distraught Sophie tried to protect her boyfriend and was cradling his bloodied head when she was viciously kicked.
