A quiet alley. A teenage boy, bleeding out. And a stabbing that made no sense—until it did.
In 2003, the UK was rocked by one of the strangest crimes in modern legal history. A 14-year-old boy in Goose Green had stabbed his friend—but not out of rage, revenge, or rivalry. Instead, he claimed he was following orders from British intelligence. What unraveled was a chilling hoax involving online grooming, false identities, and digital manipulation so convincing it pushed a teenager to commit attempted murder in the name of MI5.
This case blurred the line between victim and perpetrator and exposed just how vulnerable young minds are in the digital age.
Pour a drink. Press play. And uncover the truth behind one of Britain’s most mind-bending legal nightmares.
