Those questions are at the center of 12-year-old Ray’s story, which can be told in new BBC drama Responsible Child – loosely centered on a real-life case. Ray, who loves playing video games, learning about space and watching reality shows, is on trial – alongside his big brother, Nathan, 21 – for a brutal murder. After their abusive step-dad narrowly escapes prison for attacking Nathan having an axe, he returns to the overcrowded family home and starts being abusive to their mum. One night, the brothers go downstairs and stab him more than 60 times while he sleeps on the sofa. It’s an attack so frenzied they very nearly cut his head off. The story is based on that of Jerome and Joshua Ellis, who were 14 and 23 once they also killed their step-dad. Image terme conseill
