Daniel Bartlem (born 1996) is convicted murderer from Nottingham, UK. He is often dubbed as the "Coronation Street Killer" by the media. Daniel displayed disturbing behaviours, such as defecating and hiding his feces around his room. He also wrote violent stories and would have his  mother and her boyfriend read them.

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 burn the house, but before doing so, he helped his younger brother and the family dog out of the house. Initially, he claimed that a burglar had hurt his mother and burn 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.

Personality

Daniel Bartlam is an unusal case in that at only the age of 14, he displayed Cluster B personality traits and characteristics, which effectively make him a child psychopath. Daniel was reclusive, and spent a lot of time alone in his room watching DVD's and playing video games. He enoyed violent type video games and violent horror movies. Daniel displayed attention-seeking behaviours, he was manipulative, awkward, and showed other bizarre behaviours. Although personality disorders aren't usually diagnosed in those under the age of 18, Daniel seems to be one of the exceptions. He displayed antisocial personality disorder with schizotypal, borderline, and narcissistic traits.
