Chilling footage of British piano tutor’s final moments before Florida cabin stabbing she arranged with married father in X-rated chatroom: Full horror laid bare as new trove of victim photos emerges

A Florida court has heard evidence about the final moments of British piano tutor Sonia Exelby, who was found dead near Gainesville in October 2025. Prosecutors accuse Dwain Hall of kidnapping and murdering her after she travelled from Portsmouth to meet him; he has pleaded not guilty. The evidence matters as his trial approaches and investigators set out what they say happened before her death.

Police testified that Hall’s phone contained images depicting severe abuse, and played a one-minute video they believe was filmed shortly before Exelby was stabbed. In it, she has visible bruises and says Hall has been beating her; she appears to agree to being killed and names stabbing as the method. Exelby, 32, had flown to Florida on 10 October and had a return flight booked three days later, but did not board it.
