Twins Launch Vicious Assault on Friend and Mother
Twin brothers Keiron and Jordan Lewis, both aged 26, have been jailed for a brutal and prolonged attack that left their lifelong friend, Curtis Williams, lying in a pool of blood. The violent incident occurred on August 13 at a property near Pontypridd, Wales.
A Night of Drinking and Drugs Turns Violent
Cardiff Crown Court heard that the group had been out drinking and taking drugs before arriving at the ex-partner's home around 11pm. Keiron Lewis reportedly refused to leave the property, despite the woman's children being inside. When she went upstairs to check on them, the Lewis twins followed.
Mr Williams then heard a commotion from the bedroom and went to investigate. Upon arriving, he saw the two defendants "attacking" the woman. When he tried to intervene, the twins turned their aggression on him.
Sustained and Merciless Beating
The court was told that Keiron and Jordan Lewis then launched a merciless, cocaine-fuelled assault on their friend. They repeatedly punched and kicked Mr Williams while telling him, "This is what you get when you think you're it."
The attack was so severe that Mr Williams was left for dead in a pool of blood before being rushed to hospital. His injuries were extensive and included:
- Extensive bruising to his face, eye sockets, and right shoulder
- A wound to his head
- A broken nose
- A fracture to his cheek
Sentencing and Aftermath
Keiron Lewis, of Balaclava Court, Penycraig, and Jordan Lewis, of Sherwood Street, Tonypandy, later pleaded guilty to wounding/inflicting grievous bodily harm and criminal damage.
The court heard that Keiron Lewis has nine previous convictions, including four offences of battery. Jordan Lewis has one previous conviction of a dissimilar nature.
In mitigation, it was said both defendants were intoxicated from alcohol and cocaine and had "overreacted" in the situation, but were now remorseful for their actions.
Sentencing the pair, Recorder Mark Powell KC stated: "This was a very nasty, very unpleasant, and very prolonged assault to someone you owed a debt of friendship rather than hostility."
Keiron Lewis was jailed for 45 months while Jordan Lewis was handed a three-year prison term.
