David Redfern refused to call an ambulance as the pensioner lay dying on the street
A drunken bully who dragged a pensioner into the street by her ankles and refused to call an ambulance as she lay dying after mistaking his seaside home for a B&B has been found guilty of her murder.
In fact, the prosecution claimed IT worker Redfern, who is six feet one inch tall and weighed 21 stone, had deliberately and forcefully kicked or stamped on Mrs Barnes on Marine Parade, Barmouth, in an “unjustified and gratuitous” attack. Mrs Barnes, who was "frail" and weighed seven and a half stone, had been visiting friends in Barmouth last July 11.
"What the defendant did to Mrs Barnes was out of all proportion to the situation," Mr Jones said in his closing speech. When she was dying outside his home, Redfern had “mocked and demeaned” her, he said. But Redfern accepted in his evidence making “heartless” comments that night. A security camera had recorded him.
“There’s nothing in his past to suggest he’s somebody who has a disposition towards violence,” counsel also argued.
