July 2nd 2024.
The court heard that the man on trial, Gavin Plumb, had allegedly made plans to kidnap, rape, and murder the well-known British TV personality, Holly Willoughby. The prosecution argued that Plumb went to great lengths to convince others that his intentions were not just a mere fantasy. They stated that Plumb, a security guard, had meticulously planned the murder to take place between the years 2021 and 2023.
According to the BBC, the prosecution's barrister, Alison Morgan, revealed in her closing arguments that Plumb had even confirmed the plan by swearing and exclaiming, "it's really happening!" when an undercover police officer showed him a flight booking. Plumb has denied all charges of soliciting murder, incitement to rape, and incitement to kidnap.
Morgan addressed the jury, sharing Plumb's reaction upon realizing that the person he believed to be called David Nelson was willing to join him in his sinister plan. "These were the defendant's words when he found out that 'David Nelson' had booked a flight from the US to partake in the attack - 'it's really happening'," she said. She added that Plumb did not try to dismiss the plan as a mere fantasy or a joke, nor did he question the legitimacy of the flight booking.
The prosecution also reminded the court of Plumb's extensive preparations for the attack, including his purchase of chloroform, which is commonly used to render people unconscious. Morgan pointed out that Plumb had even searched for information on how long the substance would knock someone out for. Plumb had previously claimed that he bought the chloroform to clean a stain on his floor.
The trial continues, and the jury will have to decide whether Plumb is guilty of the charges against him. In the meantime, the public can stay updated on the latest developments by following our WhatsApp channel. No need to worry about comments or algorithms - your privacy is our priority.
