Jack Crawley had also travelled to York to carry out a hammer attack
A security guard has been convicted of 'brutal attacks' on two men, resulting in the death of an army veteran and concealing his body in the woods before attempting to murder a second man in York. Jack Crawley, 20, was found guilty of murdering Paul Taylor, 56, after they initially met online.
However, when police discovered the vehicle, forensic analysis revealed a significant amount of blood inside the car, which was later matched to Mr Taylor. While on police bail, on January 5, Crawley travelled to York where he attempted to murder a second man by brutally attacking him with a hammer. A post-mortem report established at least 10 separate blows to Mr Taylor's head and two on his left arm. Although a definitive cause of death could not be ascertained due to decomposition, it was presumed to have been from the head injuries.
Detective Superintendent Ian Hussey, the senior investigating officer for the case, spoke after the ruling, saying: "Paul was tragically killed after suffering an assault at the hands of Jack Crawley. He was a much-loved father, husband, brother and friend who will I know will be missed by many." "I would also like to thank our colleagues in the Crown Prosecution Service and prosecuting counsel David McLachlan KC and Will Beardmore for the manner in which the case has been prepared and delivered at trial."
