A gang of youths has been convicted of killing a ‘kind and innocent’ young man with the mental age of nine in a knife-point mugging caught on graphic CCTV film.
Dean Mayley was stabbed in the heart by 17-year-old Jamal Jones for refusing to hand over his mobile phone to a group of robbers who stopped him as he walked home in Greenford, west London, on the afternoon of February 7.
The 24-year-old had learning difficulties due to a brain disorder called Microcephaly and probably did not fully understand what the teenagers wanted, jurors were told.
Jones was found guilty of murder, while his three accomplices were found guilty of manslaughter.
Mayley’s mother Donna sat through weeks of harrowing evidence at the Old Bailey and was visibly shocked and tearful after watching footage of the moment her son was fatally injured.
The CCTV showed three shadowy hooded figures go up to Mr Mayley and confront him before one of them lashes out with a blade.
The victim then staggered and collapsed in the road as members of the public rushed to help. He died later in hospital.
The prosecution said while only Jones, from Acton, west London, wielded the knife, all four played a part in the attempted robbery and killing.
Miguel Leiba, also 17, from Hanwell, and Ryan Beresford, 19, blocked the victim’s path and Michael Mensah, 18, drove them to and from the scene, the prosecution said.
Beresford, of Acton, and Mensah, of Greenford, along with Leiba denied murder, but were convicted of manslaughter. All three were also found guilty of the attempted robbery of Mr Mayley.
Mensah was found guilty of an earlier robbery on January 28.
Mrs Mayley wept as the verdicts were delivered after around four hours and the defendants wailed in the dock.
In his defence, Jones admitted he had tried to rob Mr Mayley but denied he had meant to harm him.
He told jurors: ‘He was getting fidgety. His hands were in his pockets. He was looking straight into my eyes. Ryan and Miguel – I noticed them coming back towards me. I asked them “are you going to get involved?” but they just stood there.
‘I asked him again “just give me your phone”. He shrugged and said “what are you going to do about it?”.
‘And then I just literally panicked. I did not know what to do and I’m thinking “is this guy going to hit me?” because of his body language.
‘I thrust out first. I hit him first – I did not intend to hurt him. I just meant to do a slice and that’s it. I just ended up getting paranoid and he was getting aggressive towards me.’
