What quality of assessments, psychological help, did he have in prison, his priors include non molestation order and breaking a restraint order. Prescribed anti psychotics prior to this murder, prior drug taking... Judges sentencing remarks on criminal history..'10. You are now 45. [dob 4.8.1978]. There are 15 previous convictions recorded against you for
30 offences. The offending history dates back to when you were aged just 13. There are
eight convictions for offences of theft and robbery from 1992 through to 1998 when you
would have been 19. In 1998 for offences of robbery, you were sentenced to a total of 4
years in a young offender institution. In 2002, aged 23, for drugs offences, the possession
with intent to supply class A drugs, crack cocaine and the possession of a prohibited firearm,
you were sentenced to a total of 8 years imprisonment. In 2008 and 2010 more minor drugs
offences met with fines and then in 2011, aged 32, for more offences of robbery you were
sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment. In January 2018 for harassment, offences of battery
and breaching a non-molestation order in December 2017 you were made subject to a
suspended sentence order with various requirements. You were in breach of a restraining
order in October 2020 and imprisoned for 12 weeks.
11. You were recalled to prison in relation to the sentence passed in 2011. It would appear that
the recall took effect following the sentence in October 2020. You were released from
custody at Wormwood Scrubs on 11th August 2022, having served in full the sentence passed
in 2011.'

'Our investigation revealed how Mr Ward’s son had been friends with some of the attackers, but they had fallen out. Mr Ward’s family home had been attacked in the days before the killing.'
'Mr Ward's older brother... added his brother was a carpenter by trade who would always help others by using his skills, and was someone who had made a choice to change the direction of his life as a youngster and could once have chosen the wrong path himself.'
'Mr Ward's partner, Tammy, said: 'Kelvin was the love of my life. He was a fantastic partner, father, son, brother and good friend to many. He always put himself out for other people and if anyone needed a job doing or shoulder to cry on, he'd be there.
'He was very unique and there was never a dull moment when he was around. He was funny, the life and soul of a party, he worked hard to provide for his family, he had so much more to live for and loved life.'

Will the shooter, a convicted rapist be deported!? His brother, also involved, convicted, Mustaf Jama, had 21 priors, including burglary and carrying a machete, deportation was considered before this murder but not enacted. Yustaf Jama, who they needed extradition/transport from Somalia for charges, trial, he was the shooter, he is also convicted for a rape in Birmingham. Will he be deported? Atleast two, to my knowledge so far, of those involved, have been rejected for deportation by home office or judge on appeal.. due to lack of saftey in Somalia. What about Uk citizens saftey!

In 2010 Firearm used in the robbery..'Gun-toting masked men jailed for raid at Horton Jewellers, Richmond'
8th February 2011
Richmond and Twickenham Times
'This is the moment gun-toting robbers raid a jewellers in Richmond in front of terrified customers and a screaming toddler.
The shocking footage was released after the raiders were jailed at Kingston Crown Court on Friday.
CCTV footage of the robbery at Horton Jewellers, in Richmond, on February 5, 2010:
The masked men, wearing boiler suits, burst into Horton Jewellers in Paved Court, Richmond, on February 5.
As they smash window displays with a hammer, one of them points a handgun at terrified customers and staff.
A screaming two-year-old in a buggy is showered with glass as the robbers steal jewellery worth £150,000.
They then make off towards Richmond Green and jump into a waiting car.
Ringleader Lee Byer, 32, of Bollo Lane, west London, was described as a “Fagin-type character” who recruited and organised four young robbers to target stores in Victoria and Richmond.
The five pleaded guilty at Kingston Crown Court in August and October last year and were jailed for a total of 41 years on Friday.
Detective Chief Inspector Pam Mace, head of the Metropolitan Police’s flying squad, based in Barnes, said: "Lee Byer was a prominent and influential figure within west London crime circles. He controlled a violent gang of young men, directing them to commit high value commercial robberies and regarded himself as untouchable.
"The lengthy and complex investigation by the flying squad, with the support of local borough officers, has resulted in all five pleading guilty, reflecting the compelling evidence gathered against them.
"I would like to pay tribute to the victims, including very young children, who have been severely traumatised by the actions of this gang."

Micky, your refering to 'Piran Ditta Khan'? He was around 56 years old when he committed the armed robbery and flee to Pakistan after. To avoid investigation, our laws. Multiple charges, not just murder.
'prosecutors argued that he was the “mastermind” behind the robbery as he organized it and purchased the weapons'
'The officer Beshenivsky was 38 years old.. She was shot dead at point-blank range by one of the three men who carried out the robbery. Her colleague, Teresa Milburn, survived after being shot in the chest.' (not shot by him)
Search 'Piran Ditta Khan ' and 'Judiciary' and the Judges sentencing remarks (includes details of court evidence, conclusions) can be accessed on Judiciary page.
'Piran Ditta Khan, for the murder of Sharon Beshenivsky, the sentence is one of imprisonment for life. The minimum term would be 40 years but for the 1578 days I have already referred to and which I shall deduct. That results in a minimum term of 35
years and 247 days, taking account of the seriousness of the offence.
On Count 2, robbery, the sentence is one of imprisonment for life, with a minimum term of 10 years’ imprisonment.
On Count 3, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, the sentence is one of
imprisonment for life, with a minimum term of 14 years and 8 months’ imprisonment.
On Count 4, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, the sentence is one of imprisonment for life, with a minimum term of 14 years and 8 months’ imprisonment.
On Count 5, possession of a prohibited weapon, the sentence is one of 10 years’
imprisonment.
On Count 6, possession of a prohibited weapon, the sentence is one of 10 years’ imprisonment.'

The grant was a new promise in 2012 and to my understanding didn't make any promises 15 years beyond that.
The trust still has its property endowment that is now worth over £500million that the government arranged. (Do they make money from developments or rentals of land buildings.) Trust also earns income from licenses. (Online they have a page of links for vulnerable boaters.)
I did see a couple boaters videos, how he complained about the wages of managers in Canal river trust being extremely high, another about closing down of /less staff /hours for some routes. So they could have mismanaged funds, over expanded the network rather than focus on sustainable longterm goals?
Given it has charity status, I'm surprised they never encouraged donations from users of the tow path. I never saw any posters requesting people to at entrances to paths, canals. However I have seen that they spent alot of money on TV/video advertisements aimed at walkers/bikers.
Canals were probably changed to a charity, trust as a form of (privatisation) outsourcing, to cut costs/ workload.
The trust, marinas should have made it clear to all buyers/ license payers that costs could rise substantially at end of the intial financial grant. Many seem to choose it or need it as a low cost form of living.
However my understanding not contributing to council tax, local government, services if living on the cut, no mooring. Which for my area covers a quarter of funding for local Adult Social Care and Health Services, Economic Growth & Neighbourhood Services, Children’s Services, Environmental services. But travelling boaters still use the same services including police etc..
Gov UK online 2012: '£1 billion investment secures future of new waterways charity'
'This unprecedented funding for a new charity paves the way for the launch of the new Canal & River Trust later this year.'
'In order to help the Canal & River Trust get off to the best possible start, Defra has committed a property endowment worth £460 million and funding of £800 million over the next 15 years to help put the nation’s historic network on a firm footing for the future.'
Canal River Trust online:
'We are a major land owner with a unique portfolio of land and property throughout the UK, worth over £500 million. Our team undertake land assembly and prepare our otherwise redundant property for regeneration by progressing it through the planning process.
Each development presents an original environment. To make sure the development creates a thriving waterside community, we work carefully to help plan the appropriate mix of residential, commercial, leisure and mixed-use developments, specifically tailored to the needs of the location.'
