Bob Beale's Brutal Behaviour:
Bobby Beale had anger management issue as he had accidentally murdered his elder sister Lucy by attacking with a jewellery box out of frustration at her actions. When his adoptive mum Jane came and discovered Lucy's lifeless body in the living room.
"Lucy!" Jane gasps seeing Bobby holding the jewellery box.
"She started it!" said Bobby.
Also Bobby had pushed Jane down the stairs this had occurred when Bobby became furious when his paternal grandmother Kathy Beale returned to Walford and Ian and Jane decide to move her into Bobby's bedroom and move Bobby into Lucy's old bedroom. Jane caught Bobby trying to swap the rooms back in secret and a physical scuffle ensued, which resulted in Bobby deliberately pushing Jane down the stairs. After she regained consciousness, Kathy arrives and Jane lies that she tripped and fell when helping Bobby move the last items from his bedroom. However, after hearing Kathy and Jane talking later, Bobby accidentally reveals to Kathy that he pushed Jane down the stairs, leaving Kathy shocked at his violent streak.
Bobby attacked Jane with his hockey stick and hits her around the head with his hockey stick. He hit her twice more, striking her legs then leaves her unconscious in their home, going into the Queen Vic and confessing in front of everyone there that he has killed Jane and he killed Lucy too. As a result of this Bobby had put Jane in hospital and was in a coma.
Later he was arrested by PC Julian Wals after confessing to attacking Jane. Bobby then also confesses to DS Howard South while being interviewed he had Sharon Mitchell as his appropriate adult and the Mitchell family's solicitor Richie Scott. He also revealed to DS Howard South that he killed Lucy and revealed to Samantha Keeble that he has the murder weapon in his school locker. He was released pending charge for Lucy's murder.
Ian and Steven are told by doctors that Jane nearly died as a result of her injuries and that she will never walk again. Bobby is sharply rebuked by Ian for this attack but he seems genuinely upset about Jane and says that by confessing, he is seeking help.
Bobby is charged with unlawful killing and denied bail by the Youth Court judge. He was kept in a youth detention centre until a preliminary hearing in Crown Court the following week. In court, Bobby pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm upon Jane with intent and unlawfully killing Lucy. He was given a custodial sentence of three years for killing Lucy and one year for the attack on Jane, with both sentences to run concurrently.
After being sentenced to prison until June 2019, Bobby felt confident he could be released when Ritchie informs him of potential to appeal, but following Jane's wishes, Ian convinces Bobby to avoid doing so, saying that he needed to accept what he did and carry out his punishment like he deserved. When Jane had begun to recover from her injuries, she wished to visit Bobby, but Ian tols her that Bobby does not want to see either of them.
But after being in a youth detention centre for four years will he learn from his actions?
