A judge has named two “pure evil” 17-year-old boys as he jailed them for life for the “brutal” murder of a “vulnerable” musician.
Mr Justice Sweeney lifted reporting restrictions at Winchester Crown Court to allow the naming of Jack Hindley and Samuel Jones, who were found guilty of the murder of 35-year-old Edward Reeve. The “talented” keyboard player suffered multiple stab wounds in the attack at his home in Christchurch, Dorset, on New Year’s Eve 2021.
Hindley, from Christchurch, and Jones, from Bournemouth, were 16 years old at the time of the attack. They showed no emotion as the sentence was handed down.
