Serial mugger who became a killer at 17 when he murdered high-flying City lawyer for his mobile phone and travelcard is set to bid for freedom
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. 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, a lawyer 'with 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. 'I had hoped I might be able to read my statement from the witness box in open court,' she said. 'I wanted Carty and Brown to hear directly from me the absolute devastation which they have caused. 'I must start by saying that my sense of pain and horror at losing Tom, and in such a brutal way, is literally indescribable. I have found it almost impossible even to try to put it into words but hope that I manage to convey it at least to some extent through my statement. 'Tom was my best friend, my soul mate. I adored him - I always will. I miss him more than I could ever describe: his beautiful heart, his brilliant mind, his big loving eyes, his gentle voice, his gleeful laugh and quirky sense of humour, his dancing, our chats and the great fun that we used to have together. I miss us. 'On the day Tom was killed, he had made contact with the priest who was due to conduct our wedding ceremony. He printed off the details he had received that afternoon, together with his wedding vows. They were found later that night strewn around him on the pavement as the paramedics battled to save his life. Donnel Carty aged 19 (left) and Delano Brown aged 18 (right) were sentenced for the murder of City lawyer Tom ap Rhys Pryce in 2006 'In a matter of seconds wedding plans and a future together had changed to funeral plans and a lifetime apart.' MailOnline can reveal that Brown has been referred to the Parole Board for his first hearing since passing the minimum tariff behind bars. A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: 'We can confirm the parole review of Delano Brown has been referred to the Parole Board by the Secretary of State for Justice and is following standard processes. 'Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community. 'A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims. 'Members read and digest hundreds of pages of evidence and reports in the lead up to an oral hearing. 'Evidence from witnesses such as probation officers, psychiatrists and psychologists, officials supervising the offender in prison as well as victim personal statements may be given at the hearing. 'It is standard for the prisoner and witnesses to be questioned at length during the hearing which often lasts a full day or more. Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.' CCTV footage from the Met Police shows Tom at Kensal Green station shortly before he was attacked near his home on January 12, 2006 CCTV stills show Donnel Carty and Delano Brown robbing an Asian male on January 16, 2006 The jury heard how the youths followed Tom from Kensal Green tube station because they thought it was likely he would 'have something worth stealing'. Carty whistled and nodded his head at Brown to indicate that they were to rob him. The lawyer, who worked for law firm Linklaters, was knocked to the ground, kicked in the face and then stabbed. He collapsed close to the house he shared with fiance. The meagre haul from the robbery was a travelcard, a mobile phone and some bank cards. Half an hour before, the pair had robbed a chef on a platform at the station, taking his mobile, travelcard and £60. The two were arrested six days after the murder. A trainer was found with the dead man's blood on it and signs that Brown had worn it. Carty, now 37, remains in prison with his minimum 21-year term not due to finish until 2027.

Mother, 32, with money problems took her own life while her children were at school after GP wrongly concluded she wasn't 'actively suicidal', inquest hears
A mother struggling with money problems took her own life while her kids were at school after her GP wrongly concluded she wasn't suicidal, an inquest has heard. Amy Manning, 32, was found dead in her home on January 17, 2024, after her police officer partner came round to check on her. At a hearing at Taunton Coroner's Court, Assistant Coroner Stephen Cavell said 'it was clear she could not be saved' after she was discovered in her bedroom while her children were in lessons. The court heard how Ms Manning had been diagnosed with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), and had been using alcohol and cocaine prior to her death. EUPD, also known as Borderline Personality Disorder, is a mental health condition marked by difficulty regulating emotions, maintaining stable relationships, and impulsive behavior. She was said to be a good mother to her two children, a hard worker and a skilled hairdresser, whose mental health began to deteriorate during the Covid lockdown. Amy's family said 'Lockdown had a significant impact on her mental health' and after becoming pregnant she sought an abortion because she 'did not feel able to raise the child' while under emotional and financial stress. Giving evidence, Sam Plumley, an officer with Dorset Police and Ms Manning's on and off partner, said the relationship was 'difficult' in the run up to her death, telling the court: 'She had started drinking a lot more alcohol and she appeared to seem more unwell and was struggling with her mental health. 'The relationship was on and off. I tried to distance myself a little while still offering support and being there for her.' Ms Manning was understood to have been in financial difficulty at the time of her death, and was working with the Citizen's Advice Bureau to get to grips with her money problems. Mr Plumley said he was aware that she owed money, but did not know how much, or to whom. He gave evidence that he had been texting her the night before her death, when she was cutting a friend's hair, and said he had no concerns for her welfare. It wasn't until the following morning, when she failed to respond to Mr Plumley's messages, that he visited the property, arriving at around 12.30pm. After entering with his key, he discovered she had died after barricading herself in the bedroom and hanging herself. After calling the ambulance service, Mr Plumley recalled he laid her on the bed, 'hugged her' and awaited the arrival of the emergency services. The ambulance record showed paramedics did not attempt resuscitation due to 'obvious death features' and her death was declared at 1pm, six minutes after paramedics arrived. The court heard evidence from Ms Manning's GP, who said she had 'chronic suicidal thoughts' but was not considered 'actively suicidal' because her desire to remain alive for her children was considered a 'protective factor.' Attending court, Susan Hawker, a psychiatric nurse with the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, said Ms Manning had been facing significant financial problems, had failed to pay her rent and had never paid a water bill. Ms Hawker also testified she did not believe Ms Manning was suicidal and that she was 'shocked' when she heard the news of her death, telling the court: 'She was clear to me she wanted to look after her sons who were the protective factor.' Mr Plumley was asked about allegations he had taken money from Amy's account. He said he had borrowed money from her on numerous occasions, but had always repaid it, saying: 'If there was money from her account it was never not put back in, nothing was ever taken out without her knowledge. 'There was a two-month period where it happened a few times but over the course of the four years it didn't happen often.' Asked if he had borrowed money from Amy in the month before her death, Mr Plumley said: 'No, I couldn't accurately answer that, I don't think so.' The court also heard that Miss Manning's elder son handed a phone to the police, asking them to look at messages exchanged between his mother and Mr Plumley. The police gave evidence that they found 'no conversations of major concern to explain why Amy took the actions she did. 'What was evident was a lack of trust.' Avon and Somerset Police said there were no suspicious circumstances around the death and added that 'nothing has been found that is sufficiently alarming that leads us to believe any criminal offence or anything undue was done by Sam.' In his findings of fact, Mr Cavell said Amy had a good relationship with her family, was a committed mother and had a good work ethic. But he noted she had been diagnosed with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, anxiety and depression and came to the attention of mental health services in 2020. He said the disorder was associated with compulsive behaviour, which may have been exacerbated by her use of alcohol and cocaine. Under the influence of alcohol and drugs and facing financial and emotional stress, she made the 'impulsive' decision to suspend herself, he added. Mr Cavell found that Amy intended to die by her actions, and came to a conclusion of suicide.

Shocking moment shoplifter who attacked Co Op staff is put in a choke hold by 'have-a-go hero' customer hours before he died
This is the moment a shoplifter was put in a choke hold after attacking customers and staff in a supermarket shortly before he died. The 52-year-old man - named locality as James - was attempting to steal food and alcohol from the Co-Op in Torpoint, Cornwall on August 6 when workers tried to intervene. Witnesses say James - who was an alcoholic with tattoos on his face and neck - threatened staff when he was told to return stolen items and lashed out at several customers who tried to help. Another customer put James in a choke hold until he lost consciousness and when police arrived. He was rushed to hospital but later pronounced dead. The man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of assault. James lived with his sister Claire on a houseboat moored at a marina in the town. Few neighbours were willing to pay tribute to him with one describing him as an 'alcoholic'. One added: 'He got what was coming to him - this couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. 'He has made people's lives a misery and threatened nearly everybody here. 'He was dearly loved by his sister but nobody else has a good word to say about him. 'He's spent several years in prison, I think for manslaughter, because he punched a guy in the face and he died.' Shopkeepers in the Cornish town said James had often been seen walking around carrying open cans of strong alcohol. One said: 'I was in the shop when it happened. He was stopped by staff and was abusing them. 'Members of the public stepped in and he was trying to fight them. Eventually the big black guy was on top of him restraining him. 'I saw the moment he lost consciousness, the guy flipped him over straight away and checked his pulse. He wasn't trying to hurt him. 'I feel sorry for the guy who was arrested. He got him around the neck but he had to otherwise more people would have been hurt.' A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: 'A 52-year-old man has died in hospital following an incident in Torpoint on Wednesday, August 6. 'Police were called at 4.45pm following reports of a disturbance at Co-op Food in Fore Street. 'During the incident the man was restrained by another customer but became unresponsive a short time later. 'The man, from Torpoint, was treated by paramedics and taken to Derriford Hospital. 'Police are continuing their enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident. 'Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information is asked to contact police online or by telephone on 101, quoting log number 696 of August 6, 2025.'
