I'm Sruti. I'm Hannah. And welcome to Redhanded. And Happy New Year!

Oh yeah, Happy New Year! This week we were recording this before New Year's Eve but it's going out in the New Year.

So Happy 2019, we're not there yet, we're from the past.

We are from the past but yeah, we thought we would start off 2019 the way we intend to carry it on.

So as ever you've been warned, don't eat during this episode unless you are an absolute pervert in which case.

Please carry on. And as you can't tell from my voice, I have what we could call the death cold as Hannah has called it before.

The death flu, sorry. During one of my many many fever nightmares last night, I did dream that I was trapped in this particular case.

So you had a dream that you were in the case? Yeah, I had a dream that someone was doing to me what happens to the person in this case.

Oh yeah, you're in 2D. I know. I know. I was very high temperature though. And I still do, but I think I'll be okay for like the next hour and a half because I've eaten like three Christmas Ferrer or Shays.

Drunk a can of Coke Zero and taken a fistful of Cocodomol. So I reckon you've got like an hour and a half of me on a pretty good form before I collapse again.

Let's go before that happens. So Jonathan George Timpson was born in the town of LaRonge in Saskatchewan, Canada on December 30th, 1987.

And at the age of just seven, he was murdered in that very same town. His body was found on the 11th of July 1995. In the woods just a few hundred yards from his grandmother's house.

His throat had been slashed, his head had been crushed, and his body had been mutilated. To say that this was a shock to the community would be a stupid thing to say because of course it was.

Jonathan was a super cute seven-year-old kid. His hero was Zoro and everyone who knew him described him as playful and outgoing.

It was an unbelievable tragedy to hit this indigenous community in central Canada, but the biggest shock was yet to come.

Because Jonathan's killers had been a pair of local boys, a 14-year-old named Sandy Charles and his eight-year-old accomplice William Martin.

But even more shocking than the fact that those responsible were children would be their motive.

As ever, let's start at the beginning. Sandy Charles was born on the 6th of July 1981 to a 17-year-old girl named Jean in LaRonge.

LaRonge is a town of about 2,600 people, mostly young and mostly indigenous, a mix of first nations like Jonathan and Mates like Sandy.

And although unemployment is at an all-time low right now, unemployment in LaRonge has been as high as 50% in the past.

Sandy's father was off the scene before he was even born, so his mother was left to raise him on her own.
