Four men found guilty of killing Bill Henham from Henfield
Four men have been found guilty of murdering student and Henfield resident Bill Henham at a New Year’s Eve party in Brighton two years ago, Sussex Police have said.
Police said Bill was beaten unconscious and dropped into a recessed courtyard, within a disused building in North Street on January 1, 2020.
They said the 24-year-old suffered extensive injuries, having been beaten, kicked, stamped on and struck with a wooden bannister spindle.
A Sussex Police spokesperson said: “Dushane Meikle, 28, of Amberley Drive, Hove; Gregory Hawley, 29, of no fixed address; Lamech Gordon-Carew, 20, of Cheeseman Close, Hampton, Middlesex; and 18-year-old Alize Spence, of Academy Gardens, Croydon; were convicted on Thursday (24 February) following a 10-week trial at Maidstone Crown Court, Kent.”
“They had all denied murdering Bill,” said the spokesperson.
The police spokesperson said: “Police were called to the disused four-storey building, a former office block with bar and restaurant, after receiving information on 2 January that a man had been beaten and dropped off a balcony during a party at the location, which was being used as a squat.”
