Murder

Handley was fixing a chain on his bicycle in Beckton, London, on October 7 1994, when he was approached by two men in a Peugeot 405.

Homosexual lovers Timothy Morss and Brett Tyler had planned the abduction and murder of a "blonde boy" whilst they were serving sentences together for sexual assaults on young children. As soon as they were released, they targeted nine-year-old Daniel Handley.

The two men drove around night after night, searching for their victim – always within the parameters set by Morss – a blonde haired, blue eyed boy aged between 8 and 12. On the night of 7th October 1994, they were driving around, high on a combination of cannabis and alcohol, when they ‘got lucky’. They spotted 9 year-old Daniel Handley trying to fix the chain on his bike in Beckton, east London. They waited until they were sure the child was alone, then he was snatched by Tyler, who yelled “Drive”. And they were gone. Tyler later spoke of his feeling of exhilaration as they kidnapped the child - “the feeling of sexual excitement when I grabbed his body and pushed him into the car; the fear of being caught and the excitement that we might get away with it. It was like a fantasy.”

They drove him back to their flat, where they took more drugs and drank more vodka, telling Daniel to drink some. Daniel replied that he had had some before, and that he had ‘got blamed’ for it. They then ordered the child to strip. Terrified, Daniel obeyed, whilst the gloating kidnappers videoed him. They then videoed one another as they raped the boy. They took Daniel back to the car, and put him in the back, telling him that they were going to take him home. Both Morss and Tyler knew, from their planning, that the rope to be used to murder their child victim, and prevent him from reporting them, was in the car. They knew that they were taking Danniel for his last journey. In fact, they stopped at the home of Brett Tyler’s father to pick up a garden fork and spade to bury the victim once they had murdered him.


Murder

They pulled off the M4 motorway at junction 14, and drove the car to a layby in Hungerford. It was dark when they got into the back with Daniel. Morss picked up the length of rope, and said to Tyler ‘You know we’ve got to do this?’ Tyler nodded, and replied ‘Yes.’ Terrified, Daniel asked 'Are you going to kill me now?'. It was obvious that they were, but one of them mockingly said ‘No’. Morss tied a knot in the rope. The two men held Daniel down, whilst Morss put the rope around his neck, with the knot over his throat. Morss started to strangle the child, then stopped. He said he could not manage it alone, and told Tyler to take an end of the rope and pull. The killers each took an end, and pulled on the rope whilst the terrified child pleaded for his life. Morss was fulfilling his evil fantasy of looking into a blonde boy's eyes while murdering him. They did not stop until Daniel was still, and they were sure he was dead. They then buried him in a shallow grave.

Trial

On May 17, 1996, two homosexual partners, Timothy Moss, aged 33 and Brett Tyler, aged 30, were convicted of murdering Daniel Handley. The trial judge and the Old Bailey branded them as "vultures" and sentenced them to life imprisonment with a recommendation that they should never be released. Six years later, the pair were given a 50-year minimum term by the Home Secretary David Blunkett.

After the trial, it was revealed that Daniel's killers had met in Wormwood Scrubs Prison during the early 1990s, while they were serving prison sentences for child sex offences. One of the men already owned a house near Bristol, a minicab firm and a florist's shop, assets which had been obtained with his former homosexual partner.

They fled to the Philippines after Daniel's death, but by the time they returned to Britain, Daniel's body had been found, and they were quickly arrested on suspicion of murder.
