LONDON; Private Schoolboy, 16, Kills Himself After Being Blackmailed By Nigerian Scammers Over Nude Photos
A 'gifted' and 'gentle' sixth former at a leading private school killed himself after being blackmailed over nude photographs.
Keen footballer and rugby player Dinal De Alwis, 16, had earned a clean sheet of A* GCSEs and just started sixth form with hopes of studying at Cambridge, when he was contacted on messaging app Snapchat by someone, apparently from Nigeria.
He was sent two photos of himself – and told they would be sent to 'all his online followers' unless he paid £100.
