A Florida man accused of murdering British woman Sonia Exelby is awaiting trial after prosecutors alleged the 31-year-old attempted to abandon a long-discussed murder fantasy shortly before she was killed, transforming what investigators say began as a consensual online arrangement into a brutal homicide.
According to Marion County court records, Dwain Hall, 54, of Ocala, Florida, faces charges including first-degree premeditated murder and kidnapping following Exelby's death in October 2025. Hall has pleaded not guilty, and his trial is scheduled to begin on 5 November.
