Youth (Episode 9006)

The Youth was employed by David Platt to print a job-lot of posters of Clayton Hibbs, the murderer of his wife Kylie and post them up around Manchester. David had been frustrated to be told that in the upcoming trial Clayton would receive a light sentence because he was aged only 15, and this prompted him to start a campaign of revenge and intimidation. The posters, which as well as Clayton's photo carried the caption "My name is Clayton Hibbs. I murdered Kylie Platt", were delivered by the youth in his van to David in a quiet spot in Viaduct Street. They had agreed on a pound a poster but when David demanded some go up at The Dog & Gun, the youth got scared and demanded an extra £50 danger money, saying what he was being asked to do was "proper dodgy" and not like putting up posters for a band. David reluctantly agreed and the youth did his work, resulting in David later being arrested for perverting the course of justice.
