Dressed in a black jacket and shorts with black socks pulled up to her knees Dionne Timms-Williams looked like just your regular teenager. Footage of her walking through a Cardiff street gave no suggestion she would go on to commit murder that night.
Having met with Jason Edwards and Lee Strickland in Queen Street the then 16-year-old made her way to Bute Park where she and her co-defendants were to target gay men to rob before setting their sights on Dr Gary Jenkins, 54. They proceeded to punch, kick, and stamp Dr Jenkins to death and left him – bloody, unconscious, and semi-naked – in the middle of the park before stealing his credit card and phone. They've now been locked up for a combined 84 years.
Timms-Williams and Edwards were seen kissing and embracing on CCTV moments after the attack in a sickening display of affection contrasting with the tortuous death Dr Jenkins had suffered at their hands. After leaving Edwards the teenager made her way to a garage to charge her phone and stayed the night with a friend.
