Why we can now name teenage Bute Park murderer Dionne Timms-Williams

The youth defendant convicted of murdering a respected consultant psychiatrist in a Cardiff park can now be named as Dionne Timms-Williams.

The teenager, who was 16 years old at the time of the murder, took part in a vicious and brutal assault upon Dr Gary Jenkins in Bute Park on July 20 last year which left him unconscious, covered in blood, and partly exposed. He died two weeks later in hospital having sustained a blunt force head injury.

Witnesses told a trial at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court that Timms-Williams, 17, led the attack on Dr Jenkins and was described by a man who intervened in the attack as "f****** evil and sadistic". Go here to recap events as they happened in court and find out more about the case.
