Two men and a 17-year-old girl have been jailed for life for the homophobic murder of a doctor in a city centre park.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Psychiatrist Dr Gary Jenkins, 54, was attacked in Cardiff’s Bute Park on 20 July 2021, and died 16 days later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jason Edwards, 25 and Lee William Strickland, 36, will both serve a minimum of 32 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dionne Timms-Williams, who was 16 at the time of the crime, will serve a minimum of 17 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The consultant psychiatrist, who was described as “kind” and “compassionate”, was kicked and punched to death in the park by the trio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He suffered multiple severe brain injuries and died at University Hospital of Wales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sentencing the three, Judge Daniel Williams said they had chosen to target gay men in Bute Park because they believed their victim would be “less likely to report the crime” and also “sheer homophobia”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
