Murray Dowey, from Dunblane, was only 16 when he ended his life last year.

Summary

Parents of a British teenager who died by suicide after being blackmailed by sextortion criminals in Nigeria appeal to the perpetrators to stop targeting vulnerable individuals.

They also criticize social media companies for not doing enough to protect young people from this crime.
