The killers of a psychiatrist who was murdered during a homophobic attack have had appeals to reduce their sentence refused.
Dr Gary Jenkins, 54, was savagely beaten by Jason Edwards, 25, Lee Strickland, 36, and Dionne Timms-Williams, 17, for 15 minutes in the early hours of July 20 last year. Edwards, who is from Liverpool, Strickland and Timms-Williams then left him covered in blood with his trousers pulled down to expose his genitals.
He was taken to hospital but died two weeks later on August 5, reports WalesOnline. In a trial earlier this year, sickening audio footage was played of Dr Jenkins pleading for help as they beat him to death behind a café in Bute Park, Cardiff.
