Fisherman ‘murdered by pair of brothers’

A FISHERMAN was murdered by two brothers following an argument in a Royal British Legion club after the younger sibling became “rude” when questions were asked about his age, a court has heard.

Garon Jewell, 19, and Draven Jewell, 21, are accused at Winchester Crown Court of killing 23-year-old Max Maguire in the fight outside the club in Lymington, New Forest, Hampshire.

Two friends of the victim, Georgia Hole and Luke Gray, were also stabbed during the altercation which happened shortly before midnight on October 22, 2021.

Adam Feest QC, prosecuting, told the jury the two defendants were among two groups of people drinking at the private members’ club who loosely knew each other.

He said tensions rose in the garden area after Garon Jewell was “rude” to Mr Maguire and Mr Gray after they had asked how old he was.

Draven Jewell has pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon but, with his brother, denies murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter of fatherof-one Mr Maguire.

The older defendant also denies the attempted murder of Mr Gray and, with his brother, two alternative charges of wounding Mr Gray.
