Lured to his death by SMS

This shocking headline is being picked up by the Australian press. My source is The Sunday Mail who reports that a text message cost the victim his life.

"Theirs was an illicit affair based on text.

Grant Errol Whitney, 33, and 15-year-old "T" regularly exchanged text messages, with her signing off, "love", and "xoxo" according to court documents.

On September 2, 2003 they had a "sexual encounter", but the messages turned sour when T's relatives found out.

Whitney's last text message was received from T's "Aunty Gill" who allegedly lured the truck driver and father-of-two to his death".
