A killer who joined a murderous attack on his own cousin and then helped try and burn his body tried to appeal his conviction seven years later.
Ruben Hoather, then 22, "tortured and terrorised" 17-year-old Jordan Campbell at a flat in Tickle Avenue in Parr, St Helens, on January 1, 2015. He had only been released from prison the previous day after being convicted of headbutting a former girlfriend.
The helpless Jordan was subjected to a brutal beating by Hoather and his fellow killers, Daniel Wiltshire and Anthony Wood, before Wiltshire stabbed him in the back causing his death.
