The episode explores the tragic case of Marc Williams, a young YouTube star murdered by a fan.

18-year-old Marc William's from Uckfield was a rising YouTube star, who liked to document his love of climbing high buildings, free running and parkour. He was loved by his friends and family and his videos also bought like minded people into his life, including another local man, Lewis Ashdown.

But one night and one brutal act of betrayal, meant Marc would never upload another video again. This is REAL.
