Cardiff student manipulated into lying to police to protect killer, court hears
Dr Jenkins, 56, a consultant psychiatrist and father-of-two, was "cruelly beaten" and "tortured" during a prolonged homophobic attack by Timms-Williams and two men.Timms-Williams, who was 16 at the time, Jason Edwards, 26, and Lee Strickland, 36, all denied murder but were convicted after a trial and sentenced to life in prison last month.
Prosecutor Nicholas Gedge said: "Initially, the investigation was not for murder because Dr Gary Jenkins didn't die until August 5. "He told police he had been sleeping at home and heard a knock on the door. On him opening the door, she asked if she could stay the night. The following morning, she thanked him for allowing her to stay the night and said she had made his bed for him."In his statement to police, Newman gave the name of another friend of Timms-Williams and said he believed she visited her after leaving his house.
"When he went to college, he was befriended, on the face of it, by Miss Timms-Williams and introduced to a wider group of friends."There was some misplaced loyalty from this young man, not realising at the time how serious the offence had been."CCTV footage shows the moment the three defendants met, with Timms-Williams offered a can of cider by Edwards
