Tony Hughes is the victim at the centre of one of the most compelling episodes of Netflix's true-crime series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. The 31-year-old was an aspiring model and was heading for a successful career in front of the camera.
Now, Hughes' mother Shirley Hughes, has hit out at the streaming giant and the production claiming that the series doesn't offer an accurate portrayal of what happened. Speaking to The Guardian, Ms Hughes said that she hadn’t seen all of the show, which focuses one episode on her son, who was deaf and just 31 years old at the time of his slaying in 1991. Nonetheless, she’d concluded that “it didn’t happen like that”.
“I don’t see how they can do that,” Hughes told The Guardian, before adding that it was difficult to talk about Tony’s murder and politely ending the call. “I don’t see how they can use our names and put stuff out like that out there.”
