7 Guilty for brutal murder of Bailey Atkinson in Walsall town centre
On the evening of 27 January 2023, Bailey was out with a female friend. A taxi dropped them in Walsall town centre and they were walking past the market stalls when a car swerved towards them.
Bailey told his friend to “run” as he also ran along the High Street.
There were two cars in convoy, a Toyota Verso and a Seat Leon, both had been stolen in previous days.
The nine occupants of both vehicles had met up on a supermarket car park shortly before they drove into the town centre looking for Bailey. It’s thought they sought him in retaliation for an attack on a brother of one of their number by Bailey two months previously.
They cornered Bailey and by Lower Hall Lane and drove at him.
Bailey managed to escape, but the cars circled and caught up with him further along the High Street where six of the occupants got out and attacked Bailey with machetes and zombie knives. Bailey didn’t stand a chance.
Police were at Bailey’s side in less than five minutes and began CPR, but sadly he was pronounced dead at hospital a short time later.
Detectives launched a meticulous investigation, examining hours of CCTV and mobile phone evidence, plotting each of the defendants’ movements to establish their part in Bailey’s murder.
And today (21 March) after a ten-week trial at Nottingham Crown Court, seven teenagers, who were aged between 15 and 18 at the time of the attack, have been found guilty of Bailey’s murder.
They are:
Benjamin Wilkes aged 18 of Guild Avenue, Bloxwich
Patrick Brookes aged 18 of Hunter Crescent, Walsall
Sonny Loveridge aged 19 of Irvine Road, Bloxwich
Ronan McCulloch aged 18 of Livingstone Road, Bloxwich

True, I wish they would get longer sentences for all.
The fact the medics performed open-heart surgery _at the crime scene_ shows they knew just how dire the situation was. Clearly they tried their best and I applaud them for that. As for his attackers -- it took NINE of you to target one man, despite all your weapons? What tough, hard men you really must be. RIP, Bailey, I hope you're in a far better place now.

You are prevented from owning firearms for your own safety and for public safety but ironically a firearm probably would have saved this person and allowed him to defend himself against a pack of rabid animals. Unbelievable.
I’ve seen a video of this incident in a pub not long after..they attacked him like a pack of animals,with knives,bar,machete whatever and leave him…horrific…then take photographs…..truly horrific

Bailey did not coperate with police when he was previously shot (shooter 25yr sentence) or stabbed: Bailey is described in prior articles as a member of the C2 gang that armed themselves with guns. Bailey was previously shot with a sawn off shot gun (by a person who was previously stabbed) and another previous occasion Bailey was stabbed. Quotes and articles: BBC stated 'Mr Atkinson had moved to Walsall from Coventry two years earlier.' ' "You and Bailey Atkinson were both associates of what's known as the C2 gang"...' '..roots in the gang culture in Coventry with which both young men were involved.' "Only you and he know what led to this incident. Because his affiliation was so strong, even after suffering such serious injuries, he did not co-operate with police and did not give evidence in court.' '..associate yourself with gangs armed with guns and you use them with the intention of killing people' 'Both gangs (*C2 and CV2) have taken part in violent crime towards each other, which has involved the use of firearms - although both Maphosa, of Hamilton Road, Worcester, and Mr Atkinson were associates of the C2 gang.' 'Both young men had previously been victims of stabbings, but neither had co-operated with the police over those incidents.' 'Pray Maphosa, 19, shot Bailey Atkinson with a sawn-off shotgun following an argument' 'Maphosa was sentenced to 25 years behind bars for attempted murder' Regarding his murder: 'Officers believe the attack was in revenge for an alleged assault by Mr Atkinson on a brother of one of the defendants two months earlier.' Articles: 'Coventry teenager jailed for 25 years for shooting gang associate' Coventry telegraph 'Seven convicted of murder over Walsall stabbing' BBC

'Murder victim was arrested over stabbing accused killer's brother' - court told 'A 'murder' victim was arrested in connection with an attack which saw his accused killer's brother stabbed just a month before he died, a trial has heard. Bailey Atkinson was questioned by police after the brother of his alleged killer Ronan McCulloch ended up with multiple stab wounds during a suspected daytime knifing. The 20-year-old's arrest came just a month before he was allegedly ambushed by McCulloch and eight others before being left for dead in a pool of blood in Walsall town centre.' Birmingham mail

Such comments are everywhere here from people like yourself trying to create tensions. Usual means the highest or most common as in offender rates, which isn't the people you are implying and others here . Yes, this was a horrible crime, and they deserve 50 years or more, but looking at jail figures and conflicting rates, this isn't the usual or most common. That's measured in ratios, and this is not it. I get it people don't like that, but if the numbers aren't recognised and acknowledged, the government will do nothing about it.
