The Sophie Elliott (ID: 1588)
Sophie Elliott was 22 years old when she was murdered by her at the time ex boyfriend and Uni lecturer Clayton Weatherston in her Dendin home while her mother was there. Clayton and Sophie relationship was on again off again and very abusive. When Sophie had finally had enough of there relationship she broke it off and was getting ready to move on with her life i believe she was planning on moving to Wellington NZ for a job. Clayton had came over unannoced wishing to give Sophie a going away present. He went up to her room where he killed her. Sophie had received a totally of 216 separate injures mostly being stab wounds. He had targeted areas of beauty and i believe he may have mutated part of her face though i am not 100% sure. The reason why i am requesting this case is because it is one that has effected NZ in such a major way. one way i believe it may have lead to a law change. But what Sophie's mother has done in memories of her daughter is amazing. She set up the Sophie Elliott foundation which is focused on teaching young people about abusive relationships with programs being in NZ high school called Love me Not focused on education about abusive relationships in hope of stopping cases like Sophie . Also Sophie's cues of death was blood lost due to the stabbing Dunedin New Zealand 9th of January 2008 NZ Newspaper : https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/gruesome-details-of-sophie-elliott-killing-revealed-in-court/SBLUD3Y5EHI75IT5XVAGD2X5OY/ https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/2534491/Weatherston-continued-stabbing-Sophies-dead-body https://truecrimenz.com/2019/11/28/case-14-sophie-elliott-part-i/ http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/2866308/Clayton-Weatherston-jailed-for-minimum-18-years
