Chilling to do list of teenage girl, 18, who planned to torture and kill her boyfriend in revenge plot
A TEENAGER who plotted to torture then kill her lover formulated a chilling to-do list outlining her plans.
Sophie George, then 18, noted steps such as "drive to grave site", "torture" and "kill and bury with bag" in her detailed checklist.
She also put together a sick murder kit filled with bleach, forensic clothing and lighter fuel before arranging to meet her victim.
Cops later found the to-do list and kill kit alongside instructions on how to change her identity and start a new life.
The handwritten checklist was scribbled on lined paper and divided into five sections.
It began with charging her phone and wiping her shoes on the grass before driving to her selected location in Brighton, East Sussex.

She reminded herself to pack a "knife and duct tape", followed by changing into protective gear, updating her Snapchat password and uninstalling WhatsApp on her phone.
Next, she instructed herself to drive to the grave site where she would "torture" her causal fling Adam Yiosese into revealing the names of other women he had slept with.
After burying him, she would begin the "cleaning process" which involved "scrubbing hard surfaces".
George, now 20, admitted attempted murder and possessing an offensive weapon and was yesterday jailed for 13 and a half years.

Hove Crown Court heard how George and Mr Yiosese met at Moulsecoomb train station when she was 17 and he was studying at the University of Brighton.
By the time of the attack, he had graduated with a first class degree and was working as a railway engineer in London.
The defendant had arranged to be picked up by the 23-year-old on October 10, 2020.
When the pair met, Mr Yiosese was confused when she became angry that he had brought his work van, not his car.
Police later discovered she had been researching how to lock the doors from the inside in the model he usually drove.
George got Mr Yiosese to drive to what she said was a friend's house, where she picked up two carrier bags filled with her "sinister murder and torture kit".
She then told him she wanted to go to a park, and the couple drove in the direction of Wild Park.
But when he said he wanted to get food instead, George twice grabbed the steering wheel to force him to change direction.
'MURDER KIT'
She then pulled a knife on him and tried to stab him. He cut his hand deflecting the blow, and fled the van.
A woman in flats overlooking the road saw George launch her attack and phoned for the police.
When officers arrived, Mr Yiosese had injuries to his face, where she had punched him, and finger, where she had bitten to the bone.
The "full murder kit" discovered in George's bags included a bottle of bleach, a full-body forensic suit, shoe covers, gloves, shower caps, a lighter, bin bags, tape, a knife, cleaning equipment, instructions, a mobile phone and portable charger, and lighter fuel.
At her home, police also discovered the written plan to kidnap and torture Mr Yioses, including how to turn off her phone and delete messages and contacts to avoid detection.
Shortly before yesterday's hearing, the judge was handed a handwritten note in which George expressed her remorse.
Defending, Graeme Wilson said that there had been an "imbalance" in George and Mr Yiosese's relationship, pointing to her youth and what he said was social isolation and a difficult home life.
'CONSUMED BY REVENGE'
George initially denied two charges of attempted murder and one of possessing an offensive weapon, but pleaded guilty in May last year.
She was sentenced to 13 and a half years in prison, of which she must serve at least two in custody, with a four-year extended licence.
Judge Christine Henson said: "It seems from all I have read in this case, that you were fixated and consumed by revenge as you considered the victim had been seeing other women.
"You went to meticulous lengths to plan your attack. It is clear you knew what you were doing was wrong and your planning included evading responsibility and detection."
Detective Superintendent Jon Hull said: "This was a cold, pre-meditated plan to kidnap, torture and murder an innocent man, with clear steps to then cover up the crime.

"I am in no doubt that George would have followed through with her hugely disturbing 'to-do list' were it not for the victim overpowering her and the prompt response of our officers to bring her into custody.
"I would like to thank the victim for his support in this investigation, the member of the public who called 999, and everyone involved - particularly Detective Paul Thomas, who was in charge of the investigation - for helping to take a dangerous individual off the streets."
