Overview
- At Mold Crown Court, Judge Simon Mills jailed Aaron Evans for six years and three months, David Brock for seven years and two months with a three-year extended licence, and Summer Marl-Brock for 54 months, with release considered only after two-thirds of each term.
- Judge Mills said Brock poses a significant risk to the public and issued 15-year restraining orders for all three to prevent any contact with victim Benjamin Edwards.
- Prosecutors said Marl-Brock lured Edwards to meet her, then filmed as Brock and Evans forced open his car doors and punched, kicked, and bit him while he sat trapped in the driver’s seat.
- The video, which captured laughter during the prolonged beating, was admitted as evidence and the judge called it “a truly shocking piece of evidence.”
- Edwards sustained eye haemorrhaging, a jaw fracture, bite wounds, and lasting anxiety, and the Section 18 wounding with intent pleas reflect a high-harm offence that can bring extended prison oversight when ongoing risk is shown.
