Teenagers Jailed Over King’s Cross Killing After County Lines ‘Retribution’ Attack

Old Bailey sentencing followed CCTV and phone evidence that tied the county-lines trio to the fatal King’s Cross assault.

Overview

  • Judge Mark Dennis KC jailed Jaidee Bingham for life with a 16-year minimum, Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw-McKoy for 47 months, and Mia Campos-Jorge for 42 months, saying Bingham escalated the attack by using a bottle with severe violence.
  • A jury convicted Bingham of murder and Bradshaw-McKoy and Campos-Jorge of manslaughter in October 2025, and the defendants can be named after turning 18.
  • Detectives relied on CCTV, audio and seized phones—including selfies and a Snapchat meme reading “Us if we don’t lay low”—to track the group from the scene to a nearby apartment and place them together before and after the assault.
  • Police and prosecutors said the assault was a county-lines punishment, with Marks chased, kicked, hit with car trim and struck with a gin bottle before a bystander with a cricket bat forced the attackers to flee.
  • Marks died on 14 September 2024 from brain bleeding linked to the assault, and a separate 36-year-old co-defendant’s case remains unresolved after a jury failed to reach a verdict.
