Man Hung On Tree And Beaten To Death By Best Friends by Eze2000(m): 7:39pm On Feb 20, 2017
A Leicester crown court has heard how two friends filmed themselves on mobile phone beating a man to death even as they taunted him.



The duo of Joshua Hack, 21 and Keith Lowe, 22, have pleaded guilty to murder after police dug up the video of the incident which they filmed on their phones and tried to delete unsuccessfully from cloud storage.

The two evil friends are accused of luring 23-year-old Brendan Mason to a park at about 1.40 am.in the early hours of the morning of June 5 2015, having given him to believe they wanted to spend time with him as friends.

But on arrival, the duo launched the most brutal assault on him.

The video footage played to the court by police persecutors show Lowe holding the victim's neck between his legs while they both tell him: "Smile for the camera".

When Brandon Mason fell unconscious, Hack and Lowe then stripped him of all possession and dumped him in a cold pond to remove all forensic evidence before abandoning him for dead in Abbey Park and cycling to a nearby MacDonald's restaurant for a hearty meal with the victim's money.

Abbey park is located in Leicester, Britain. It can be as lonely at night as it is beautiful



Park groundsmen arriving early that morning (7.40am on July 5 last year), found Mr Brandon Mason naked, unconscious and bleeding.

Emergency first aid workers airlifted him by helicopter to Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry where medics discovered he had 99 different injuries to his head and body, this included brain damage, five broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

Sadly, Brendan Mason died later that day and the case become murder.

Joshua Hack and Keith Lowe, both residents of Leicester, lured their friend Brendan Mason, who has learning difficulties, to a park, after making him believe they wanted to spend quality time with him.

They hung him from a tree and took turns hitting him while the other held him fast. This went on for several hours n the early hours of July 5 last year with them laughing and taunting him in the worst kind of way.

After Brendan Mason fell unconscious, they stripped him naked and threw his body in a pond, leaving him for dead in Abbey Park, Leicester.

Found by groundsmen and airlifted to a hospital in Coventry, Mr Mason later died of his wounds which were many.

On arrest Joshua Hack initially admitted to murder but Keith Lowe denied it and so went on trial last week.

Four days into his trial, he changed his plea to guilty, after police brought him face to face with the video of the crime he committed and tried to delete from his phone.

Prosecutor Miranda Moore QC, told the court that officers actually saw the video on the Cloud and not the phone.

‘It shows Brendan’s battered and naked body with Lowe still landing blows.’
‘It was being made for a third party to show them what happened to Brendan.’
“They were using their phones to communicate because Brendan doesn’t know what’s about to happen to him.
Speaking to reporters after the case, senior investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Mick Graham said:
‘Brendan was known to the defendants and considered them as friends, and they lured him to the park with the full intention of hurting him.’

In their statement released to the press, Brendan’s family said:
‘It is not right how two evil people can do such a horrific thing and leave a massive hole in our lives that will never be filled again.‘Brendan was a lovely young man and he was so happy. He had numerous learning difficulties and very poor vision.‘Even though Brendan had numerous learning difficulties and was very easily led by others, he always knew right from wrong.‘The police have been a big part of our life for the past seven months; they have been amazing, but there will never be closure for us.’

Joshua Hack and Keith Lowe,will be sentenced tomorrow at Leicester Crown Court, Britain. So many wish they spend rest of their evil lives in jail.

What do you think?
