Teenage girl gangsters were seen on video laughing and singing after they beat a man to death in a brutal attack – as they are convicted of killing him.
Anthony Marks, 51, was hit with a car bonnet then chased down, stamped on and beaten with a gin bottle before he was left for dead by the three teenage girls.
Police officers found him with serious injuries to his face and arms at King’s Cross Station at around 5.25am on Saturday, August 10 last year.
He died from his injuries on Saturday, September 14, 2024.
The teenage killers posed for smiling photographs both before and after the brutal murder and shared a video singing and laughing in a car.
These chilling photographs of the girls taken on the day of the attack ultimately led to their downfall – as the snaps and videos placed them at the scene of the crime.
Jaidee Bingham, Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw-McKoy and Mia Campos-Jorge, who can now be named as they are over 18, have been convicted of killing Mr Marks in a county lines retribution attack.
Bingham and Bradshaw-McKoy were 16 years old when they killed the victim, while Campos-Jorge was 17.
The three young women were all found guilty at the Old Bailey on Thursday, October 30.
Bingham, 18, known as ‘Ghost’ of Dagenham, was unanimously found guilty of murder.
Bradshaw-McKoy, 18, of Lambeth, was found guilty of manslaughter by a majority verdict.
Campos-Jorge, 19, of Tottenham, was found guilty of manslaughter by a majority verdict.
Detective Inspector Jim Barry, of the Met’s Specialist Crime North, who led this investigation, 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.
‘They believed they had escaped justice, even posing for selfies together and laughing about what they had done. There is a sense of justice that officers were able to use these to place them at the scene of the crime.
‘This verdict shows how the Met is taking the fight to criminal gangs and committed to getting justice for their victims.’
The three girls began working for the county-lines drug gang on the evening of Friday, 9 August.
After one of the girls was robbed, Bingham was told to find out who had taken the drugs, police said.
They believed Mr Marks knew what had happened and went to confront him on Saturday, August 10.
He was chased from from Argyle Street to Whidbourne Street by Bingham and Bradshaw-McKoy, with CCTV footage showing Bradshaw-McKoy wielding a long object, believed to be a car bumper.
Mr Marks was repeatedly kicked and hit over the head with a glass gin bottle until a member of the public armed with a cricket bat chased them away.
Police found Mr Marks covered in blood in King’s Cross Station later that morning, after he stumbled into the transport hub for help.
Police officers were able to interview Mr Marks and later used CCTV to create a detailed picture of the night when he was attacked.
In the following days, they located the teenage suspects at their homes across south, north and east London, and seized their mobile devices.
Images and video footage placed them together at an apartment near the scene, with messages between them appearing to reference the killing.
Officers were then able to secure footage that tracked them from the crime back to the apartment, building the case that led to their conviction.
Bingham was arrested on Friday, October 4, 2024, and was charged with murder on Sunday, October 6.
Bradshaw-McKoy was arrested on Thursday, November 28, 2024, and was charged with murder on Monday, November 29. Campos-Jorge was arrested on Monday, December 9, 2024, and was charged with murder on the same day.
The jury could not reach a decision in relation to Harry Gittins, 36, of Regent Square, King’s Cross, who has been charged with murder.
A further hearing will take place at the Old Bailey on Wednesday, November 5.
