In 2010, 27-year-old Gemma Hayter, a disabled woman from Warwickshire, England, was lured, tortured, and murdered by people she thought were her friends. The group subjected her to abuse for days before disposing of her body on a railway embankment. Her killing was later classified as a "mate crime," a term used for the exploitation and abuse of vulnerable individuals by those they trust.
