Forgotten by the system, killed for being different

'A dead body is discovered dumped on a patch of grass in Newcastle with catastrophic injuries. Twenty-four-year-old Lee Irving has been punched, kicked, and stamped to death. This TV program tells the story of Lee's short life, from growing up with a learning disability and his struggles with school to his determination to live independently. Harrowing testimony from his family, the investigating detective, Lee's psychologist, and others who knew him unravel a despicable crime.
Lee's family was pleased to see that he had made new friends. But his learning difficulties left him vulnerable to exploitation. Powerless to intervene, and with no help from the authorities, Lee's family and friends could only stand by as, unknown to them, his four ''mates'' mistreated and abused him, leading to his brutal torture and murder. Fourteen agencies, including social services, had been involved with Lee since he was four. A review concluded there were multiple failings to safeguard him. Five years on, those closest to Lee are still struggling to come to terms with his brutal death. This is his story. '
