The heir to a $292 million pie fortune brutally murdered his only friend on Christmas Eve in the UK — and made grisly internet searches while plotting the twisted attack, according to reports.
Dylan Thomas, 24, searched “anatomy of the neck” just before allegedly ambushing his unsuspecting roommate and friend, William Bush, 23, who was planning on moving in with a girlfriend, it was revealed at his trial on Wednesday, according to the US Sun.
The alleged murderer is the heir to the business empire of his grandfather Sir Gilbert Stanley Thomas, which includes the vaunted Peter’s Pies. The British food giant is worth an estimated $292 million.
On Christmas Eve 2023, Thomas told his friend, whom he met in primary school 10 years earlier, that he needed to see him prior to the pair going home for Christmas, the Sun reported.
Thomas coaxed Bush into his bedroom and stabbed him in the back of the neck with either a lock knife or a flick knife in a “frenzied attack” in Cardiff, the court heard, according to the outlet.
Bush, leaking blood, fled for his life down two flights of stairs of their shared home, through the kitchen and out to the patio as his assailant followed, prosecutors alleged in court, according to the report.
