LONDON, June 12 (Reuters) - A British man was jailed on Friday for encouraging the suicide of a vulnerable 21-year-old man in the U.S. during an online video call in which the victim was urged to shoot himself, prosecutors said.
Dylan Phelan, 21, admitted encouraging Travis Dyer to take his own life in October 2024 after months of contact on the Discord platform, Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service said.

What an absolutely sick fuck. Pure psychopath.
Phelan, who also pleaded guilty to offences relating to indecent images of a child and possessing extreme pornography, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court to six years and four months in prison.
