Trio found guilty of murder of Jamie Dack in Southampton

Jurors at Winchester Crown Court returned the unanimous guilty verdicts against Ryan Woodmansey, 32, Andrew Dwyer-Skeats, 27, and Donna Chalk, 22, this afternoon after ten hours of deliberating.

All three had previously admitted perverting the course of justice in disposing of his body and cleaning up the scene.

Their friend Lee Nicholls, 29, has already admitted murdering Jamie and delivering the fatal blow to his neck with a knife after changing his plea while on the stand giving evidence at a previous trial.

Security officers stood guard in the public gallery at court 2 as the eight women and four men on the jury returned their verdicts.

In the dock, Both men stood in silence as they learnt they face life behind bars while Chalk broke down in tears.

Jamie's body was found in the early hours of Sunday April 8 by firefighters call to tackle a bin blaze in the Empress Road industrial estate in Southampton.

The 22-year-old had been brutally killed on Good Friday, hours before the group went off and spent the evening at an all night rave in Bournemouth.

They used money from the sale of Jamie's laptop, which they stole, to pay towards the night out.

In the 24 hours before they had held him against his will, tortured him with broken bottles and knives and a baseball bat and beaten him and kicked him.

During the nine and half week trial jurors have heard graphic details of how all three defendants were involved in Jamie's death.

Some wiped away tears as they were made to look at a sickening picture of 22-year-old Jamie on his knees, battered and bruised and covered in his own blood.

Winchester Crown Court was told how Jamie was killed after almost 24 hours of torture in which he was beaten with a baseball bat and fists, bound with tape and left in a wardrobe and later left lying in a pool of his own blood on the floor while pictures were taken on his own mobile phone.

The horrific killing began inside a flat in Bevois Mews on Thursday, April 5, last year when the assault on Jamie started in a bid to steal his money.

The following day all four went into the city centre and sold Jamie's laptop for £100 - half of which they later spent buying a quantity of amphetamine.

They then unleashed another attack using knives and broken bottles as well as their fists and feet until Jamie was dead.

The three along with a fourth man Lee Nicholls, who already pleaded guilty to murder, then went to a rave before returning to clean up the murder scene.

In an effort to dispose of the body they put it in a wheelie bin and took it to an industrial estate where it was set on fire.

The heat was so ferocious pathologists said struggled to examine Jamie's body. However, he was found to have multiple stab wounds to his neck, left shoulder, chest, abdomen and thigh.

Donna Chalk, 22, Andrew Dwyer-Skeats, 27, both of Bevois Mews, and Ryan Woodmansey, 33, of no fixed address, all denied murder. They previously admitted perverting the course of justice.

Nicholls, 29, is on remand awaiting sentence.
