Homophobic killing in Trafalgar Square…
On 25 September, 2009, Ian Baynham was attacked as he walked through Trafalgar Square with a friend. He suffered homophobic abuse before being punched to the ground by Joel Alexander, 20. Ruby Thomas, 18, and Rachel Burke, 18, then joined in by kicking his body as he lay unconscious. Thomas even stamped on his head with her ballet pumps. CCTV cameras captured part of the attack (top centre). The group then left Ian Baynham bleeding on the pavement and got into a lift at Hungerford Bridge (1min 22secs). Burke can be seen touching up her makeup, Ruby Thomas is seen dancing in front of the lift doors and Burke then kisses a boy before leaving.
