The killers of Harry Baker have today been sentenced to a total of nearly 120 years following his murder.

Seventeen-year-old Harry, from Cardiff, 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 discovered by workers on the morning of Wednesday 28 August 2019.

The defendants, who were sentenced by judge Mr Justice Picken, and their prison terms were:

• Leon Clifford, 23, found guilty of murder, jailed for life with a minimum tariff of 27 years

• Leon Symons, 22, found guilty of murder, jailed for life with a minimum tariff of 28 years

Brandon Liversidge, 17, found guilty of murder, jailed for life with a minimum tariff of 20 years

• Peter McCarthy, 38, found guilty of murder, jailed for life with a minimum tariff of 23 years

• Raymond Thompson, 48, found guilty of manslaughter, jailed for six years

• Ryan Palmer, 34, found guilty of manslaughter, jailed for 11 years

• Lewis Evans, 62, found guilty of manslaughter, jailed for four years

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.

CCTV footage showed Symons, Clifford, and a 17-year-old boy arriving in Barry at approximately 10.10pm on the night of 27 August.

The three were driven to the town by Lewis Evans, 62, after being contacted by Barry drug users Palmer, Thompson, and McCarthy and informed of the perceived slight upon them.

Further footage captured all seven defendants over the next two hours searching various streets and addresses in the east end of town.

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.

Two minutes later, the three, alongside Clifford, can be seen on CCTV fleeing the scene, having inflicted fatal stab wounds on Harry and stripped him to steal his mobile phone.

Within half an hour of the killing, Symons, Clifford and the youth had been transported back to Cardiff by Evans.

During the trial, each of the defendants accepted they had been caught on CCTV at various stages between 27 August and the early hours of 28 August.

Following sentencing, DCI Andy Miles, Senior Investigating Officer, said:

"This was a lengthy and complex trial involving a number of defendants, and I'm grateful to the jury for the diligence and commitment they showed throughout and for returning verdicts which provide justice for Harry and his devastated family.

"No sentence will ever be long enough for them; Harry was robbed of his future and an opportunity to turn his life around, and his family and friends have been robbed of a much-loved son, brother and friend.

"They have shown tremendous strength and dignity throughout the investigation and subsequent court proceedings and our sympathies remain very much with them as they now try to begin rebuilding their lives.

"The defendants showed a complete disregard for human life on the night of the attack, and that lack of respect and remorse has continued throughout this trial. I hope that the substantial sentences handed down to them today affords each of them the time to reflect on the irreversible devastation their callous and violent actions have caused.

"I hope the sentences also send a stark warning to those involved in illegal drug activity and knife crime; tackling such criminality is a priority for South Wales Police and we will be relentless in investigating, tackling and bringing those involved to justice."
