Laughing gang who tortured doctor to death in park jailed for life

Two men and a teenage girl who laughed as they tortured a dad to death have been given life sentences.

Dr Gary Jenkins, 54, was brutally beaten, kicked and punched to death in a homophobic attack in Bute Park, Cardiff, in the early hours of July 20, 2021. Audio of the horrendous attack, carried out by Jason Edwards, 25, Lee Strickland, 36, and Dionne Timms-Williams, 17, depicted Dr Jenkins pleading for help and for his attacks to “leave me alone” but his cries were left unheeded.

After 15 minutes of being savagely beaten by the group, he was left for dead 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.
