"The prosecution, led by Hugh Davies KC, said all three had been involved in the 'Arron' county lines drug gang, and Marks had been a customer. On the previous evening, one of the girls was robbed while working for the gang and Bingham was tasked with finding out who had taken the drugs. They believed Marks knew what had happened and confronted him at around 05:00 GMT the following morning, but he refused to give up any information."
"Marks was hit with part of a car bonnet before being chased down, stamped on and beaten with a gin bottle in what police described as a "viscious county lines retribution attack". Met Police Photos and videos from the night showed the teenagers, who can now be named as they are aged over 18, posing for selfies and celebrating after the killing."
"On Monday at the Old Bailey, Jaidee Bingham, aged 16 at the time of the assault and known as 'Ghost', was sentenced to 16 years for murder. Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw-McKoy, then aged 16, and Mia Campos-Jorge, then aged 17, were sentenced to 47 months and 42 months in youth custody for manslaughter. Sentencing at the Old Bailey, Judge Mark Dennis KC said Bingham had "elevated" the confrontation by picking up the bottle and using it with "severe violence"."
