Homophobic killers jailed.

Ruby Thomas, 18, and Joel Alexander, 20, from South London viciously attacked 62-year-old Ian Baynham in Trafalgar Square in September 2009.
Baynham was punched by Alexander and, as he lay unconscious, was stamped upon repeatedly by Thomas.
He died eighteen days later.
The pair were found guilty of manslaughter in December 2010 and today the Old Bailey jailed Thomas and Alexander for seven and six years respectively.
Their companion on the night, Rachel Burke, 18, also of South London, had been found guilty of affray at an earlier trial, but cleared of manslaughter. She received a two-year sentence.
