20-Year-Old Woman Allegedly Murdered by Childhood Friend on Her Birthday

On September 18, 2019, 20-year-old Keeley Bunker was found dead in Wigginton Park, Tamworth, UK, after celebrating her birthday. Wesley Streete, also 20, a Childhood friend, was later convicted of her rape and murder.

Keeley had been celebrating her 20th birthday at a concert by rapper Aitch in Birmingham with her best friend, Mo’Nique Riggin. After the concert, they met up with Wesley Streete, whom Keeley had known since preschool. The trio continued celebrations at a nightclub called Snobs. CCTV footage showed Keeley dancing and having fun, with nothing seeming amiss.

Keeley was last seen alive walking home with Streete around 4:00 AM. Her body was discovered at 9 pm that night, lying face down in a stream near the edge of Wigginton Park. Forensic reports indicated she had been strangled and sexually assaulted.

Initially, Streete claimed he had left Bunker at a phone booth. However, CCTV footage and GPS data from his phone contradicted this account, placing him with her in the park. DNA evidence found on Bunker’s body also linked Streete to the crime.

As the investigation progressed, Streete changed his story multiple times before claiming Bunker’s death was accidental.

During the trial, evidence revealed Streete had a history of allegedly assaulting young women. Three other alleged victims came forward:

  • In 2015, he allegedly attacked a 16-year-old girl.
  • In 2017, he allegedly assaulted a 15-year-old girl.
  • Months before Keeley’s death, he allegedly attacked another 20-year-old woman.

The jury found Streete guilty after reviewing compelling evidence that disproved his various accounts. DNA evidence collected during Bunker’s post-mortem examination linked Streete to the sexual assault.

Streete was sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison. The judge stated that Streete may never be released, depending on future parole board assessments. Even if released, he will remain on license and subject to recall for life.

The lead investigator described Streete as a “devious and manipulative character, someone who repeatedly lied and targeted young women.”

Keeley’s family released a statement describing her as “the kindest, most beautiful young lady you could ever wish to meet,” expressing that the trial outcome could never bring Keeley back or be enough in terms of justice.
