A court heard how a killer nicknamed 'Scouse' hugged a young girl just minutes after beating a dad to death in a public park.
Dr Gary Jenkins was beaten, tortured, and kicked to death by a gang of remorseless murderers who left him unconscious and covered in blood, with his trousers pulled down, in a homophobic attack. The horrendous incident, described as a “grotesque display of savage violence” against the 54-year-old occurred in Bute Park, Cardiff, in the early hours of July 20, 2021.
Jason Edwards was originally from Liverpool and moved to Cardiff, where he picked up the moniker. The 26-year-old, along with co-defendants Lee Strickland, 36, and Dionne Timms-Williams, 17, rained down blows on Dr Jenkins as he begged to be left alone.
