Three teenagers who sent a chilling meme to each other after brutally killing a 51-year-old man have been sentenced. Jaidee Bingham, 16 at the time, Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw-McKoy, 16, and Mia Campos-Jorge, 17, posed for photos and sent memes about the murder of Anthony Marks.
Marks was hit with a car bonnet, chased, stamped on, and beaten with a gin bottle before being left for dead on August 10, 2024, in London. Judge Mark Dennis KC sentenced Bingham to life with a minimum of 16 years, Bradshaw-McKoy to 47 months, and Campos-Jorge to 42 months.
The teenagers had begun working for a county-lines drug gang and believed Marks knew about a robbery. CCTV showed Bradshaw-McKoy wielding a car bumper chasing the victim, who was then kicked and hit with a bottle until a member of the public intervened.
Police found a meme sent by Bradshaw-McKoy after the incident, showing two men in prison with the caption: 'Us if we don't lay low.' Detective Inspector Jim Barry said the case highlights the brutality of county lines gangs.
