UK woman, 32, allegedly flew to US to meet man, 53, as she wanted him to violently kill her

Warning: This article contains graphic descriptions of a crime. Reader discretion is advised.

A British woman allegedly flew to Florida, United States on Oct. 10, after meeting a person on a fetish website who was willing to sexually abuse her and "kill her violently".

Sonia Exelby, 32, was subsequently found buried in a shallow grave in Marion County, Florida on Oct. 17 by law enforcement officers, according to a police affidavit.

An American man, Dwain Hall, 53, was arrested on charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping.

He reportedly had sex with her several times before killing her.

Chilling details regarding what allegedly happened has since been made public.

Made a video of victim's "consent"

On Oct. 11, Exelby was captured on a mobile phone recording inside an Airbnb in Reddick, which she had rented to meet Hall.

She was apparently addressing her alleged perpetrator on camera in the video.

Looking dishevelled, Exelby was seen with multiple bruises and abrasions to her face, neck and breasts.

The video was apparently deleted, but police managed to retrieve it from Hall’s phone.

The woman was seen telling Hall why she wanted to be killed, even as she rarely looked up to the camera.

“Because I’m an awful person,” she said to the camera. “I’ve crushed everyone who ever loved me.”

She then appeared emotional and was asked how she would want to die.

She hesitated before saying she wanted to be stabbed.

“This is how you wanted to die, right? You wanted to be beaten and made to suffer because you’re such a piece of sh*t,” Hall said.

Throughout the 4-minute and 16-second video, Hall continuously asked if “this” was what Exelby consented to, and she agreed.

“I needed to be beaten and suffer cos I’m such a piece of sh*t', Exelby said.

Hall replied: “Good, good.”

Exelby was subsequently reported missing on Oct. 13.

This was after she failed to arrive for her scheduled flight home to England.

Her boyfriend had shared a desperate plea for information, saying that his girlfriend was struggling with her mental health.

He also said he believed she flew to Florida to meet someone.

Victim messaged a person to say she had second thoughts

Police revealed that on the day the video was recorded, Exelby had somehow managed to message a person on Discord, saying that she was having second thoughts about dying.

She apparently wrote: “He made it clear there was no way out unless I shoot him. I was questioning it last night. I can’t kill anyone.”

Hall had taught her how to use a gun, Exelby allegedly wrote to the friend.

"I thought he’d do it quick and not give my mind time to stew," she also apparently revealed.

Exelby also apparently claimed that she was "so so scared" and "so broken and in so much pain".

She also told the person that Hall had made her record three disclaimer videos and write a letter to her family because it was “funny”.

Accused gave a different account of events

Hall told investigators a different story after he was deemed a suspect.

He told them that he had met Exelby on a fetish website and he started “mentoring” her to make her life “better and that he didn’t want her to kill herself”.

However, Hall's inconsistent initial statements then gave way to another claim that his story was part of a cover story that Exelby had wanted him to use so that her death was not a “burden to him”.

Hall also did not reveal the location of Exelby’s body apparently as part of a promise he had made that she did not want to be found.

But police still located Exelby’s body in a shallow grave in the woods of Marion Oaks on Oct. 17.

Her death was ruled a homicide caused by four sharp force injuries likely by a knife, according to U.S. officials.

Hall was charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping in the disappearance of Exelby on Nov. 17.

He was already in jail following an Oct. 18 arrest for fraudulently using credit cards.

He pleaded not guilty to the murder and kidnapping charges.
