Cheshire robbery victim was attacked and left half naked in the street

On Thursday, a judge closed every trio – Dominic Bennett, Wesley Burton and Jason Millman, all from Orford – for eight years.

Judge David Potter described him as “a traumatic incident” who was “prolonged and very violent”.

The courtyard of the Liverpool crown heard that the victim was repeatedly assaulted and thrown to the ground and was held in a suffocation outfit for almost a minute, then left “degrading” without pants.

Bennett, 35, from Marron Avenue; Millman, 54, from McKee Avenue and Burton, 41, from Crowe Avenue, all said guilty for the robbery and caused painful bodily injury.

Burton also acknowledged the attack that caused real bodily injury and two accusations of aggression of emergency workers in a previous incident and received four consecutive months.

Ben Stanley, a criminal, told the Crown Liverpool Court that on September 12, the victim left for a birth night.

The court heard that in the early hours of the morning, he and a friend went to the Longford stores near Tesco Express in Orford to pick up some cocaine.

When he arrived, the defendants and another man approached his car and referred to a previous incident that involved the victim’s comrade.

The victim then went to get money from a nearby cash machine, and his friend left.

The CCTV filming played on the field showed men who gathered around the man at the cash point and Bennett hit him in front, causing him to fall to the ground.

Bennett left and Burton hit him as he was still on the ground. Millman offered to help the victim, but refused his help.

The 41-year-old man then kept while Bennett was assaulted, and the trio collided with the shops before falling to the floor.

Bennett was above him short and after lifting Burton continued to hit him a few times. Millman grabbed him from behind and his companions hit the man, and he fell to the ground.

“Burton then put (the victim) in a Chokehold, which lasts almost a minute, with Millman he stayed on them before he seemed to travel his pants,” said Mr. Stanley.

“During this, Burton runs while he still holds (the victim) in a choking and strikes it several times.

“After Burton released the suffoc, someone can be heard saying” no “. (The victim) then lifted and grabbed Burton.

“Millman and Bennett intervened and fired (the victim) in the shutters and once again fell to the floor.”

He was asked if he had money and then beaten again and hit. Millman removed the victim’s pants and then the attackers left the scene.

At the hospital, it was found that the victim’s jaw was broken in several places, for which he needed surgery.

The attack also left it with a bone of cheek, swollen both over the eyes and numerous bruises and cuts on the face and body.

In a declaration of impact, he later told how he cannot speak correctly for two or three weeks due to inflammation of his vocal agreements after strangulation and was on a soft diet.

While working in a public role, he could not go to work for six weeks because of his facial scars.

“I really thought I would die when I was suffocated and left on the way before losing consciousness,” he said.

Mr. Stanley said the blood from the victim was found on the coaches found at Bennett’s house, and Millman’s DNA was found on the collar of the shirt that the victim wore.

Eve Salter, the defense, said that Bennett, who has ten convictions for 24 crimes, including violence, is a cocaine addict.

The court has heard that the father of two is now clean of drugs while he was in prison from the crime and is remit for his actions.

“He struggles with his mental health,” she added.

Defense lawyer, Helen Chenery, said that Millman, who has 56 convictions for 145 offenses “cannot understand her behavior”, as she helped the victim a few minutes earlier.

“He is deeply ashamed of himself and offers his apologies,” she said.

The five -year -old father has been a heroin user since the age of 18 and also uses crack cocaine, but for a period of ten years he managed to remain clean.

“He went out to cigarettes and did not intend to see the others and he does not know why he was involved,” said Miss Chenery.

Peter Gilmore, the defense, said that Burton, who has 31 convictions for 52 crimes, has been involved in loyalty to his friends.

The court heard that the 41 -year -old used cocaine and heroin crack, but remained from them for four years after his release in 2016 by 2021, when his partner died.

“Drugs are the root of his crime,” said Mr. Gilmore.
