Teen Convicted of Murder, Two of Manslaughter in Killing of Homeless Man Near King’s Cross

Jurors delivered the mixed verdicts after nearly 48 hours of deliberation, with sentencing to follow.

Overview

  • Jaidee Bingham, 18, was found guilty of murder, while Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw-McKoy, 18, and Mia Campos-Jorge, 19, were convicted of manslaughter by majority verdicts at the Old Bailey.
  • Jurors deliberated for 47 hours and 47 minutes and were discharged after failing to reach a verdict on a fourth defendant, Harry Gittins, with a further hearing set for 5 November.
  • Anthony Marks, 51, was assaulted on 10 August 2024 near King’s Cross, suffered a brain haemorrhage, and died on 14 September; a post-mortem attributed his death to injuries from the attack.
  • Evidence detailed a care pathway that included discharge from hospital, recall to prison without repeat brain imaging despite worsening symptoms, a seizure on 29 August, emergency surgery, and subsequent withdrawal of care, as prosecutors argued the assault materially contributed to his death.
  • Met Police said CCTV, phone analysis, and selfies from the night placed the teenagers at the scene, describing a county lines retribution attack in which Marks was chased, stamped on, and struck with a bottle.
