22 year old chef Vincent Gabriel, aka Vince Gabriel was decapitated on his birthday in 1984.He was riding his motorcycle along Undercliffe Drive, Boscombe when he ran into a nylon rope stretched across the road. The rope was put there by teenagers Adrian Hulme & Stephen Mainwaring because they were bored. Maiwaring & Hulme were found guilty of manslaughter & received a very lenient 30 months youth custody.
I have no further details on this apart from a piece in the Bornemouth Echo & Weekly World news. I was active in the bike scene then but never heard of this at the time as I was living in Blackpool. I heard of it in the late 90s when a friend was brought off his bike by a rope (fortunately with minor injuries & little damage) when he told me about "the lad near Bournemouth who had his head cut off" & how that could have been him. I saw a mention of it on a Facebook riders group I was involved in when a biker was hit in the throat by a length of baling wire from a farmer's lorry. fortunately he stayed on the bike but got a nasty cut across his throat
.
Any further details please add, it seems little reported for such an horrendous crime caused by 2 bored morons
