A man named Stacy Hales, age of 36, committed a murder and has been sentenced for at least 22 years in jail. In England, the West Mercia Police responded to this crime. The court was told that Stacey Hales was angry at Steven Paynter because he owed him money for bike parts that were sold to him, as well as the relationship that Paynter was forming with Hales ex-girlfriend. Hales was assisted in this act by two other men, Stephen Munn and Mark Edwards. Both Edwards and Munn pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 30 months in Jail.  Hales and his two “partners in crime” showed up at Mr. Paynter’s home and one thing led to the next, Hales only became angrier. Hales, Munn and Edwards went to this home with intentions to harm Paynter and teach him a lesson.  In the act of rage and impulse, Stacy Hales violently responded to his rage towards Paynter. “Hales confronted the victim which soon resulted in a physical altercation which ultimately led to the brutal murder of Steven Paynter.”

A policeman from the West Mercia Police, Dave Williams said: “I find it very sad that Hales’ moment of madness over relatively trivial matters has led to Steven Paynter’s murder and he has been cruelly taken away from his family, including his two children.”  This is a way to see why crime like this is a global issue. People around the world should be aware of the violence and the ways that it affects people. Violence impulses can take control of peoples actions and this can result in a murder as such. This causes danger to everyone around the world because of the violence natures of people such as Stacey Hales.
