Brent’s killers jailed for life

Brent Martin’s killers (l-r) Marcus Miller, William Hughes and Stephen Bonallie





A gang of sadistic killers who battered disabled Brent Martin to death have been given life sentences.
William Hughes, 21, was sentenced to life imprisonment and must serve a minimum of 22 years.

Marcus Miller, 16, and Stephen Bonallie, 17, were ordered to be detained “at Her Majesty’s pleasure” at Newcastle Crown Court today.

Miller must serve at least 15 years and Bonallie at least 18 years.

Hughes, a father of two from Washington Road, and Miller from Baxter Road, pleaded guilty to murder at a previous hearing.

Bonallie of Birtley Avenue, Sunderland was found guilty after a trial.

The court had previously heard how Brent was beaten to death for fun by three “animals” he regarded as friends.

During the prolonged attack Brent sobbed and pleaded with his attackers to be his friend, even telling them he loved them.

His two teenage tormentors were trained boxers - one even kissed his fists before knocking him out cold.

Brent died in hospital two days after he was found with multiple injuries in Baxter Road, Town End Farm, on 23 August, 2007.

THIS IS NOT JUSTICE AND TRUELLY BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES TODAY.

HAD TO FIND SOME SPACE TODAY TO THINK AND PRAY FOR HAVING SUCH ANGER FOR THIS INHUMANE ACT OF EVIL.

22 YEARS OR 15 YEARS IS NOT A LIFE SENTENCE FOR BEATING AN INNOCENT DISABLED MAN TO DEATH, CHASING HIM AROUND A COUNCIL ESTATE TO SEE WHO COULD ‘PUT HIM ON HIS ARSE FOR 5 QUID’ AFTER BEFRIENDING HIM.

SCUM OF THE EARTH, YOU SHOULD BE HANDED A DEATH SENTENCE, BASTARDS.

15 years or 22 is still nowhere near life - with good behaviour they’ll be out in 10 or less - they’ll be under 30 years of age and be reintroduced back into society just in time to get married and have kids - Something which their victim will never be able to experience.

All of you who are diviorced will probably see that as a blessing! but you know what I mean.

Totally agree.

Hope they all get brutally raped on a regular basis :angry:

5

they should be hung out and left to dry…drip dry…

or left in prison to rot and what mark said.

6

22 and 15 years of 6am-10pm mine digging should entertain them in the meantime.

7

Yeah ok…do you think they’ll come out rehabilitated?

Like F*** will they:angry:

Bring back hanging.

This sort of crime really does make you think hard about the death penalty.

Absolutely atrocious.

thats ****ing disgusting, poor chaphowever, i dont agree with death sentence (seen a few documentaries proving innocent peeps were executed, just one is obviously too many)

but life should be LIFE and jails specifically for lifers should be absolute hell holes, none of this sky TV, pool tables, gym session rubbish…it should be hard rock breaking labourthat should be worse than death anyway and give time for innocent peeps to argue their case etc

scum…
