Urge to Kill

A young woman is murdered in an unusually brutal and sadistic manner. Local suspicion immediately falls on Hughie, a strangely behaved and not very bright local youth. Hughie is questioned by the police but released as there is no evidence against him. A few days later another girl is killed in the town, and the townsfolk launch a witch-hunt against him. They start issuing death threats against him after gathering in the pub.
