"Selfies and a chilling video showing three teenagers laughing and singing on the night they killed a homeless man helped police place them at the scene and secure their convictions. Marks was struck with a car bonnet before being chased down, stamped on, and beaten with a gin bottle, causing bleeding on the brain. Officers found Marks with severe facial and arm injuries near King's Cross Station at around 5.25am. He died in hospital on September 14, five weeks after the assault."
"Detective Inspector Jim Barry said: This is a particularly callous murder that gives an insight into the ruthless brutality of county lines gangs. The ages of Bingham, Bradshaw-McKoy and Campos-Jorge are particularly shocking. But the fact that they were teenagers does not excuse their violent actions as part of a drug line that has brought fear and intimidation to London's streets."
