But chilling CCTV footage revealed the horrifying truth – the semi-pro footballer was walking away after committing murder.

Trevor, the 19-year-old son of two police officers, had brutally raped and butchered his old school friend Megan Newton, leaving her naked on her bed before casually leaving.

Shocking camera footage showed Trevor looking down at his blood-covered hands as he left the scene – and, as a new documentary reveals, gave police a rare insight into his killer mind.

Retired detective Steve Keogh explains: “It is actually quite unusual to get a glimpse of a killer soon after a murder has taken place, you don’t often get that look into their eyes as in this instance when he is coming out of that flat.”

Forensic psychologist Dr Roberta Babb adds: “Knowing that this man is the killer invites us to look at this clip differently. The calmness that you see is quite chilling. It is cold, it is callous, and it has no indication of what has just taken place moments before.”

Megan was just 18 years old and studying sports science at Newcastle College in Stoke-on-Trent when she was killed by Trevor.

The talented footballer worked three part-time jobs to support herself, as well as coaching an under-sevens girls’ football team in her spare time.


Megan had high ambitions and was working towards a sports scholarship to study in America. However, her dreams were cut short on the evening of Friday, April 19, 2019.

She had finished her usual shift at a local fish and chip shop and headed home to get changed before going out with friends. They met in a pub for drinks and went clubbing before Megan took a taxi home at 2.45am.

The next morning, neighbours made a worrying discovery – a set of keys covered in blood in a car park outside Megan’s apartment.

Former Detective Keogh says: “They were able to ascertain that they belonged to one of the occupants of the downstairs flats. So out of concern they opened the door, went in and what they found was a naked female lying on the bed quite clearly deceased and quite clearly suffering from horrendous injuries so they came away and dialled 999.”

When police arrived, they knew from the extent of Megan’s injuries that this was no accident. After a search, they found what they believed to be the murder weapon – a knife – and immediately launched a murder investigation.

A post-mortem examination revealed Megan had suffered nine stab wounds to the back of her neck. They had entered her chest and into both her lungs. There was also evidence she had been strangled and sexually assaulted.
