A teenager from South Tottenham is one of three women convicted of killing a man in a “vicious” attack last year.

Mia Campos-Jorge, aged 19 and of Milton Road, was convicted of manslaughter for her role in killing Anthony Marks, 51, following an attack on 10th August 2024.

Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw-McKoy, aged 18 and of Longford Walk in Lambeth, was also convicted of manslaughter, while Jaidee Bingham, aged 18 and of Merrielands Crescent in Dagenham, was convicted of murder.

Anthony was hit with a car bonnet and chased around the area near King’s Cross Station before being repeatedly beaten with a gin bottle and stamped over the head.

The three teenagers, aged between 16 and 17 at the time of the killing, were involved with ‘county lines’ gangs and had been peddling drugs that evening, before they were robbed. They believed Anthony knew about a robbery of drugs and confronted him at 5am on Saturday, 10th August.

Anthony was found by a police officer outside King’s Cross Station and taken to hospital where he was treated for his injuries. He was admitted from hospital but died of a seizure a month later, on 14th September. Police have appealed for next-of-kin to come forward.

Detective Inspector Jim Barry, who led the Metropolitan Police investigation said: “This is a particularly callous murder that gives an insight into the ruthless brutality of county lines gangs.

“The ages of Bingham, Bradshaw-McKoy and Campos-Jorge are particularly shocking. But the fact that they were teenagers does not excuse their violent actions as part of a drug line that has brought fear and intimidation to London’s streets.”

Images and videos of the girls laughing after the attack were taken from their phones and used as key evidence tying them to the murder. They were convicted in the Old Bailey on 30th October.

Also on trial was Harry Gittens, aged 35, but the jury could not reach a verdict on his role in the attack. His case will be heard again at the Old Bailey on 5th November.
