"In Florida in November 2025, police arrested Dwain Hall, who seemed to be involved in an odd type of homicide: a request for death by a stranger. It seems that Sonia Exelby, 32, had come from England to end her life. This wasn't a form of suicide tourism, wherein someone travels to a spot they want to see before they take their lives. Exelby allegedly sought someone online who'd be willing to kill her."
"Exelby missed her flight home. Her remains were discovered in a shallow grave. A search of her computer, according to press sources, revealed that she'd communicated with several people, including Hall, about wanting to be subjected to sexual assault, torture and murder by "unknown individuals living in the United States." It wasn't the first time. When she'd tried this in 2024, she'd been stopped and treated."
Police arrested Dwain Hall in Florida in November 2025 on suspicion of involvement in a homicide characterized by a victim’s solicitation of death from a stranger. Sonia Exelby, 32, traveled from England and had a history of depression and suicidal thoughts, yet had purchased a round-trip ticket. Exelby missed her flight and was later found in a shallow grave. Computer records showed online communications about wanting sexual assault, torture, and murder, and indicated prior attempts in 2024. Investigators recovered a four-minute video showing bruises and recorded statements, and financial transactions tied to Hall helped lead to his arrest.
