==Biography==
==Biography==
===Background===
On Easter in April 2011, when he was 14 years old, Daniel used a claw hammer and bludgeoned his mother to death as she slept. He then burned the house, but before doing so, he helped his younger brother and the family dog out of the house. Initially, he claimed that a thieving burglar had hurt his mother and burnt the house. However, as investigators searched through his computer, they found evidence that he was searching things like "how to get away with murder" and other related topics. He was immediately arrested and tried. Daniel Bartlam was sentenced to 16 years in a juvenile detention facility.
Bartlam was born on November 11, 1996. Though he had a relatively normal childhood, his parents divorced when he was 9, and it was around this time that his behavior took a turn for the worst.
 
When his mother met her new partner in 2008, he found himself in an unfamiliar family dynamic, and it has been theorized that, with a stepfather and baby brother now in the picture, he may have started feeling unloved or left out. He began to get angry about the lack of attention he was receiving, and this anger only built up over time.
 
By the time he was 14, Bartlam reportedly had "no social life" and spent most of his time alone in his room watching horror movies and playing video games. He reportedly began fighting with his mother a lot, and on a few occasions, his stepfather had to physically step in between them.
 
===The murder===
On Easter Sunday in April 2011, when he was 14 years old, Daniel bludgeoned his mother Jacqueline Bartlam to death with a claw hammer as she slept. He then burned the house, but before doing so, he helped his younger brother and the family dog out of the house. Initially, he claimed that a thieving burglar had hurt his mother and burnt the house. However, as investigators searched through his computer, they found evidence that he was searching things like "how to get away with murder" and other related topics. He had also extensively researched a storyline from the soap opera ''Coronation Street'' in which villain John Stape murders a woman with a hammer, and had written a detailed fantasy about murdering his mother with a claw hammer, burning her body and blaming it on a burglar.<ref>[https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-news/nottinghamshires-most-notorious-criminals-due-5768352 When Nottinghamshire's most notorious criminals are due for release from prison], Nottinghamshire Live</ref> He was immediately arrested and tried.
