A murderer jailed for killing a disabled man in a sadistic gang attack has died in a car crash after being released from prison.
Stephen Bonallie was just 17 when he battered vulnerable Brent Martin to death, along with William Hughes and Marcus Miller. All three were jailed for life for the senseless slaying, in 2007, during which Brent, 23, begged for his life.
But Bonallie's minimum prison term of 18 years was eventually cut to 14 years, and the Chronicle understands he was released from jail in 2022. Durham Constabulary said Bonallie died in a collision, which happened during the early hours of New Year's Eve on the A167, near Durham City.
