A college student lied to police because he was 'in awe' of a teenager who had murdered a doctor.
Lewis Newman falsely claimed Dionne Timms-Williams had been with him at his home on the night she killed Dr Gary Jenkins, in Bute Park, Cardiff. Timms-Williams was jailed for the homophobic killing alongside Jason Edwards, from Liverpool, and Lee Strickland, from Cardiff.
A court was told Newman, who was 17 at the time of the attack, did not know the then-16-year-old Timms-Williams had committed murder when he lied to police. He claimed she had only told him there was a "serious incident".
