TALK TO MY LAWYER ABOUT PAL SLAYING
THE unemployed Welshman was living in a flat on Edinburgh’s posh Scotland Street when he was found guilty of murdering his flatmate and best friend earlier this year.
Ashley Hawkins, 32, was found face down in a pool of blood. He had been kicked and beaten all over, including at least 24 blows to his head, probably with a metal pole and a hammer found at the scene.
When the police arrived at the locked flat, Davies, 28, was found there wearing only jogging bottoms and trainers, both soaked with the dead man’s blood.
A psychiatrist told the trial that Davies suffered from a delusional disorder. He maintained his innocence throught the court case.
Even now, he refers questions about the night to his lawyer.
