Three men and a 17-year-old found guilty of the murder of Harry Baker are today being sentenced.

A trial at Newport Crown Court heard Harry and his friend, Louis Johnson, had been in the town selling drugs.

The gang ambushed and chased 17-year-old Harry, who was found dead at an industrial container port at Barry Intermodal Terminal on the morning of Wednesday 28 August 2019.

He had been stabbed to death and his partially-clothed body was found by staff arriving for work.

Leon Clifford, 23, Peter McCarthy, 37, and Ryan Palmer, 34, Lewis Evans 62, and Raymond Thompson, 48, who are all from Barry, as well as Leon Symons, 22, from Ely, in Cardiff, and 17-year-old Brandon Liversidge all denied murder and stood trial at Newport Crown Court, overseen by Judge Mr Justice Picken.

All of the defendants except Clifford and Evans were also charged with alternative counts of violent disorder, which they denied, while Evans alone faced a charge of assisting an offender, which he denied.

After six days of deliberations, the jury returned their verdicts as follows on 15 March:

• Leon Clifford was found guilty of murder.
• Ryan Palmer was found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter.
• Leon Symons was found guilty of murder.
• Peter McCarthy was found guilty of murder.
• The youth was found guilty of murder.
• Lewis Evans was found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter. He was also found guilty of assisting an offender.
• Raymond Thompson was found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter.

Along with his friend, Louis Johnson, Harry had been in the town selling drugs.

The jury was told the two had crossed a group of local drug users who felt 'ripped-off' and sought help from other drug dealers to confront them.

Having set up a bogus deal, the defendants then attended Little Moors Hill shortly after midnight, where some could be seen lying in wait in bushes to ambush the teens.

At least one of the group brandished a knife as the pair arrived, and a foot chase ensued along Cardiff Road and on to Wimbourne Road.

Attempting to flee their attackers, Harry and his friend scaled the fence to the Intermodal Terminal.

Further CCTV footage captured the moment Palmer, McCarthy and Symons entered the facility armed with knives and planks of wood.

South Wales Police has released footage of Leon Symons, one of those found guilty, admitting he was at the scene of the crime but denying responsibility for Harry's murder.

"I was selling drugs at Barry like an idiot," the 22-year-old from Ely says in the footage captured via bodycam.

"We went to see someone, and the person we saw set us up with these two guys.

"If you find two knives at the scene that would have been his.

"If you seen one knife, that was thrown over the thing. I can tell you where the knife was thrown, the one that killed him.

"That was Leon Clifford's, it's got his prints all over it."

"I don't want to be getting locked up for this, I did not do it.

"I was there but I did not take part in doing it."

The police officer then tells Symons they "just want the truth".

"Every time I close my eyes, I can see it," says Symons.

"He didn't deserve it, that little kid. He did not deserve it, not one bit."
