Teenage killer loses his sentence appeal

Joshua Prescott, then 19, and his friends Kane Adamson, 18, and Ben Dawber, 17, stabbed Thomas Williamson to death in Wigan in September 2021.

It came as the trio were hunting down a man who had just punched someone outside a pub. The dispute had nothing to do with them, but they decided to get involved anyway.

Mr Williamson, who had mental health problems and was out for a walk to clear his head at the time, suffered a series of fatal stab wounds, including one that penetrated his heart and lung. He died at the scene in Tyldesley.
