Murder charge youth made a rap song BRAGGING about murders of two teenage boys in Milton Keynes, court hears

The lyrics said the victims had “deserved it” after the stabbings, Luton Crown Court was told.

This was the same youth who had been attacked by one of the victims, Dom Ansah, three years previously.

He had allegedly been stripped and beaten in MK woodland and then subjected to a 'humiliating' video of the attack being circulated on social media, the jury heard.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had fled to Liverpool after Ben and Dom has been killed, prosecutor Ms Newell said.

She told the court: “He had been the victim of the particularly unpleasant and humiliating attack in September 2017 when he was 14 years old during which he was beaten and stripped.

“At least part of it was recorded on a phone being held by a black male and with a voice heard on the recording accusing him of “snitching on his block” and “riding out” on the speaker. That video had widely been shared on social media.

“After the killing of Ben Rice and Dom Ansah and the stabbing of Tom Honhold and Ryan Brown, the boy bragged as to how he had stabbed and killed the males and that they deserved it because of what they had done to him."

“He, or at least his voice, was recognised by one of the partygoers as a male who entered the property during the attacks and he was also to confess to his part in the killings in a rap recovered from a mobile phone seized from an address of one of his associates on October 30.”

The youth is one of five defendants charged with double murder, which happened at a house party in Emerson Valley in October last year.

One of the defendants, Earl Bevans. has pleaded guilty. But the others, who are aged between 16 and 22, are pleading not guilty.

The trial continues.
