Two men and a 17-year-old girl have been handed life sentences for the 'vicious' homophobic murder of a father-of-two
Sentencing the three defendants on Friday, Judge Daniel Williams said of Dr Jenkins: "All those who knew and loved him have been left with a void in their lives which will never be filled.
"I have no doubt it will be of some comfort to those who most keenly feel his loss to reflect on the good that he did in his 54 years and not the terrible injustice of his last moments."Turning to Dr Jenkins' attackers, Judge Williams said he was not convinced any of them had shown true remorse for their actions.
"For as long as 28 minutes it may be that the three of you beat Gary Jenkins. There are no words to describe the audio recording of the attack. You ignored his desperate pleas to stop even after his pleas turned to groans as his life ebbed away."
