One of a teenage gang who murdered a high-flying City lawyer for his mobile phone in a vile crime that his fiancee said 'ripped her heart out' has a parole hearing and could be freed.
Delano Brown was 18 when he was jailed for 17 years for the murder of Cambridge graduate Tom ap Rhys Pryce in Bathurst Gardens, north west London, in January 2006, which he committed at the age of 17.
The crime became one of the most notorious of the 2000s when it emerged that Carty, now 36, and his friend Donnel Carty had targeted over 150 victims over seven months before they murdered Tom, described as having 'the world at his feet.'
The astonishing pain caused by the death of the public-school-educated 31-year-old was laid bare by a powerful 1,000 word statement read out at the Old Bailey on behalf of Tom's grieving fiancee Adele Eastman, 31, also a lawyer, who had been due to marry Tom in September 2006.
Miss Eastman had hoped to deliver the Victim Impact Statement herself, but the law at the time did not allow this and it was instead read to the court.
