[THEME MUSIC PLAYING] MAN 1: It just
sounds like something bad is happening to her. WOMAN 1: I heard her
scream, no, stop it. MAN 2: I heard some gunshots. Drop it. Whatever it is, drop it. That is not true
that I killed my wife. WOMAN 2: We know what
happened because the video tells us what happened. MAN 3: The camera doesn't lie. NARRATOR: This time on
"Killers Caught on Camera." NARRATOR: In Boulder,
Colorado, husband desperately tries to help his wife-- NARRATOR: --as security cameras
reveal a vindictive murder. He was concerned based on
what he'd seen on the camera. NARRATOR: And in Coventry
in the UK, rival gangs clash in broad daylight-- Walking around the
street with an axe is a bit of a red
flag to most people. NARRATOR: --which results in
the death of a 21-year-old. NARRATOR: In the United
States, Boulder, Colorado You come over hill, and it's
right up against the mountains, and it's just a
beautiful setting. It is a laid back
lifestyle here, but Boulder is a work hard,
play hard, sort of, community. Run, hike, climb, bike. Do everything that
you get to do when you live in a community like this. NARRATOR: 2018, a
thriving community and home to Deborah de Pinto who
worked in a local restaurant. Bailey Underhill was
a friend of Deborah's. Deborah would have, like,
six pots of coffee, six plates, serving all the
diners, all by herself. She'd be helping the
other two white people and still have spare time and
be finding other things to do. Deborah was a family person. She would definitely go home
with her family all the time. She was very, very nice
and good at what she did. NARRATOR: Deborah was
married to Scott Jones. Adam Kendall is part of
the community in Boulder and works in the district
attorney's office. They met around 1998 at
a party and began dating. I think they were
pretty off and on. NARRATOR: After over a decade
together, Deborah and Scott separated, but Scott was always
hopeful of a reconciliation. She rented a new house
and was living on her own, but they still shared an
11-year-old and a 13-year-old. And knew Scott would,
therefore, be part of her life because he's their father. NARRATOR: The 18th of
June 2018, a 911 call was made by Scott Jones
who was with Deborah. NARRATOR: Don Dillard is
a detective at Boulder County Sheriff's Office. His colleague, Deputy Mike
Terry, was first on the scene. He was dispatched to a
female down, unresponsive. On his body cam, you watch
him arrive at that location. He goes into the office and
into a laundry room, when-- --he's met by a man that's
kneeling next to a woman's body that is on her back. There's also a little
boy in that room. The husband is frantic,
begging her not to die. Soon after he starts
CPR, the EMT arrives. They come in, and they take
over the life saving measures. Sheriff's deputies arrive. Some sergeants arrive, and
they start to try to piece together what occurred. They're able to
take the information that Terri got from
her husband, and that was that laundry room was hot. She had been struggling to
breathe and then collapsed. NARRATOR: But something
about Scott's behavior didn't sit right
with detectives. One of the things that
bothered one of the sergeants on scene was, frankly,
the way Scott was acting. So it's very put on. Scott Jones is screaming
and yelling, saying I don't know what happened to her. I don't know how she just fell. Intimating that there
was some, sort of, heart attack or stroke
or medical emergency. He's also talking about
how she's his life. She's his soul mate. She's a snowflake. The question is asked
if she smoked, anything, or if there's drugs involved. Sort of grasping at straws,
grasping at anything that's thrown out to indicate
that it's some, sort of, medical emergency. NARRATOR: Deborah and Scott's
two children were also there. Most parents, when a mother
or father is nonresponsive, they hover over the children
to make sure the kids are OK, and that's where
their focus goes. That was not Scott's focus. He didn't even know
where his daughter was. When the medical personnel
decided to transport her to the hospital. NARRATOR: On
arrival, Deborah was rushed to the emergency room. Attempts to revive her failed,
and she was declared dead. There was no
indication of foul play. NARRATOR: But there were still
some outstanding questions for Scott. I asked if he would come
back to my office with us. NARRATOR: Back at the station,
Deborah's estranged husband helped fill in the blanks. The initial stage and
interacting with him, it was trying to
figure out, mentally, the direction I needed to go
during the interview with him. I never interacted
with him before, so I didn't know if
this was normal for him. And so, it was trying
to establish a baseline of what Scott was really like. I really felt that
there was more there that I didn't know about yet. NARRATOR: Despite
being separated, Scott reassured detective
Dillard that he and Deborah were managing their
new lives well and co-parenting successfully. He describes this
beautiful relationship. They were just having a
normal talk about what they were going to have for
dinner, and she just collapsed in front of him. Towards the end
of the interview, he had asked if he can leave. And I didn't have enough,
based on what he had said, to hold him. At this point, there's
no clear sign of foul play. NARRATOR: Scott left the
room to comfort his children. But within minutes, a
recording emerged, which transformed the investigation. Deputy Toure then gets a call
from the manager of the trailer park, who said he was
concerned, based on what he'd seen on the camera. NARRATOR: The manager
of the trailer park immediately sent the
police the footage. The other detectives work in
this case watched this video and listened to it,
and the decision is made to get a
computer and bring the video and audio into Scott. I was told, see if he'll walk
back into the interview room. I just asked him
to watch and listen. NARRATOR: It wasn't the
only camera at the scene. One recording showed
their daughter getting into the car
outside while Scott and Deborah headed
to the trailer park's shared laundry room. She was about to
drop her kids off at the airport to let them go
on a vacation with her parents. So I believe she
was doing laundry in order to make
sure that they could get out with clean clothes. NARRATOR: At 10 to
7:00, the camera captured Deborah walking
into the building, followed by Scott. They were then picked up
by a hidden camera inside. The staff of this trailer
park had things stolen from within this utility room. That little camera
actually is what caught Deborah and Scott coming in. It's actually just
a small camera inside this chocolate
bag, and he fixed it so that it wouldn't move. You were able to hear
them and see them on video walking through here, arguing. Just beyond this
is the laundry room. That laundry room has a washer
and dryer and a small bathroom. NARRATOR: Audio
could still be heard from the tiny hidden camera. It's right at this point,
where both Debbie and Scott walk in, that we had to
start cleaning up the sound because it was just
too dirty to hear exactly what was going on with
all of the background noise. NARRATOR: David Weller is
a forensic audio and video analyst, who works
alongside law enforcement on criminal investigations. The problem is, the
camera and the microphone are far away from the
incident, so I have tumbling noise from motors, from dryers. So they're not only the
objects inside the dryers that are making noise, but the
dryer motors themselves and just those type of noises
that are obscuring the speech. So my job now is to try to get
rid of some of those noises, bring the speech out, so we can
understand what's being said and, hopefully, help
the investigator find out what happened. It was by clearing
it up that we were able to discern exactly
what Debbie and Scott were saying to each other. NARRATOR: It was an
audio breakthrough, captured by the mini
camera's tiny microphone. After playing some filters
to attenuate that background noise, bring up
the speech signals and something that we couldn't
hear before, now you can. She's mad. She's upset. And he makes comments
about how she's acting. Why do you hate me? The dialogue back
and forth is very toxic between the two of them. And you hear this argument go
on for the better part of three or four minutes,
and it gets more heated as, again, Scott is
referring to Debbie as evil or mean. She says, I'm done. We're over. It's done. I don't want to do
this with you anymore. I can't do this
with you anymore. She makes a statement
about can't make me love you, and he screams out. And that's when you hear
Debbie scream in fear. You hear a physical
altercation that occurs, and that's right
at about 7:00 PM. This physical altercation
goes on for about 90 seconds. Scott says, you're done,
as she screams help. Please help me. Someone help me. She's crying out in desperation. The sounds of her help are
sometimes clear and sometimes muffled, so it sounds
as though something's being put over her
mouth as she's screaming and screaming for help. And no One answers those calls. Over that 90 seconds,
and the screaming stops. That thumping that we hear
continues, but it slows down. And then, finally, that stops. At any point could have
released her and let her up, stopped, and even if she was
unconscious and called 911. NARRATOR: The audio fell silent. Then, picked up another sound. You'll hear a motor
starting in the background, which is the dryer that's
sitting right next to that. As the motor starts, you
hear him breathing hard, and it sounds like he's pacing. Scott's reaction when
the video was brought in is interesting. Because I don't believe he
had any idea that this camera was in that room. He spends 47 minutes
in the laundry room with his wife at his feet. NARRATOR: For nearly an hour
after Deborah fell silent, the audio picked up what sounded
like Scott pacing the room. He has to put
together a story. He has to put together a plan. He then walks out of
the laundry room area. You see him pass by
the lens of the camera and out the front
of the tool room. He's pumping himself up. He's still talking to
himself, saying, oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. And another camera
actually catches him go out to the camper. He then gets his son from
the camper, and you see he and his son go back into
that tool room area. And you can also, again,
hear their voices. He's saying, I don't know
what's wrong with your mom. I don't know what
happened with your mom. Just come.
Just come. Just come. Just come. He was acting that way because
he knew what he had done. He needed to get others
to believe in his story. That's why he brought
his son into the area, where he had just
killed his wife. He needed to sell his lie. He needed others to believe it. NARRATOR: Not only
did Scott take Deborah's son, Michael,
into the laundry room, where she was lying dead. He also persuaded
him to call 911. But his son doesn't
know the address, and so he hands the
phone back over to Scott, and Scott starts
screaming, please help us. Please help us. The son's statement
is that mom is purple. He says she's cool to the touch. She has a bruise on
the bridge of her nose. I think he brought his son
in to help forward his lie. She just collapsed, and this
wasn't something he did. NARRATOR: The exterior camera
picked up the first arrival on the scene, a police car. Body cams were rolling So this is Deputy Tourre,
and he goes straight back. The entire time the
13-year-old sitting in mom's car, she even receives
a text message from her brother, asking where she's at. But because it's on dad's
cell phone, she's afraid. The text messages she gets are
where are you, and mom's dead. NARRATOR: She had no idea
if the text was real, but it scared her, regardless. In her interview, she
actually says, you know, I didn't know if it was safe. She told one of our officers
that she was afraid she was going to be next. NARRATOR: Confronted by the
incredible evidence captured on camera, Scott's loving
attitude towards his estranged wife s changed. His whole physical
demeanor changes, and the whole conversation
and tone of the conversation changed. At which point,
the door opened. And he was told that he was
going to be placed under arrest for the murder of his wife. And as he was being handcuffed
behind his back, he looks at me and he says, there's no hurry. We removed the handcuffs,
and he sat on the other side of the table from me,
and we started talking about everything that happened. To call this a situation,
where he snapped, is to give him way
too much credit. This was a gradual buildup
of terrible behavior and of someone who isn't
dealing effectively with their own
frustrations and, instead, is projecting it
onto the other person and is engaging in
destructive behavior. And we should be
very careful not to victim blame her because
she said the wrong thing. I mean, that is not something
we should ever be doing in these kinds of situations. No matter what
anyone says to you, it never leads to
murdering them. This time, the dialogue
was very different. He was angry. He was hurt. NARRATOR: Presented
with the audio evidence, Scott went from expressing
the love he felt for his wife to accusing her of
mistreating him. People who are accused of
committing crimes, especially when there's evidence
against them, when they're backed
into a corner, often start to change their
story because they have to change their story in
accordance with the evidence. And so, in this
case, we're seeing a very clear shift in what
he's saying about his wife. And we're also seeing a
change in body language. We're seeing a whole
different person, really. And we're also seeing
an external locus of control, where
now he's saying, this was outside of my control. It was her fault. It
was all the situation. And that is pretty
typical when people are grasping for rationalization. They're grasping for
excuses that they can then hopefully
sell to somebody else, but also to themselves. Because he is probably
still trying to figure out exactly why he did this. NARRATOR: Scott was
arrested for the murder of his wife, Deborah de Pinto. The autopsy revealed that
she was strangled to death. Deborah wanted to
separate from him. She was seeing other
people, and that was part of their separation,
not living together. He really had this mindset
that if he couldn't have her, no one could. If, at any time, he truly cared
about her surviving and not intending on killing her,
he would have released her, and she would have
been able to get up, or he would have
been able to call 911 to have someone revive her. NARRATOR: As Adam
Kendall prepared his case against Scott, the true
nature of their relationship came to light. We're able to get in touch
with some friends of hers. They described a years-long
relationship of control of Scott making threats. Some individuals reported
not seeing physical abuse, but hearing about
it from Debbie. And it's very clear
that Scott was incredibly mentally controlling
and verbally abusive to Debbie. Verbal aggression
is often a precursor to physical aggression. But in the sense that if
you can't use your words and you stop being able
to make yourself heard or to get what you
want by speaking, you then initiate
the physical piece, and you get violent,
potentially. NARRATOR: Scott's
abusive behavior was clear to see in the text
messages between the two, recovered from Deborah's phone. These text messages are
unrelenting and over the top. It's accusing her
of cheating on him at the time she was seeing
someone else, but she told him, we are done. We are separated. So it wasn't cheating. But in his mind, it was. He's talking about
how he's going to keep the kids from her, if
she doesn't come back to him. There's one series of texts,
where he just goes at her over and over about being a horrible
person, and a horrible wife, and a horrible mother,
and that he thought she was something different. NARRATOR: On the 20th
of December 2019, Scott Jones was
convicted for the murder of his wife, Deborah de Pinto. Scott ended up sentenced
for second degree murder here in Colorado. Our judge sentenced Scott
to 48 years in prison. NARRATOR: His sentence
included a year for child abuse for taking his son to
see his mother's body. NARRATOR: Following the trial,
Deborah and Scott's children were placed in the custody
of Boulder County's Health and Human Services Department. An anti-theft camera, hidden
in a bag of chocolate, accidentally caught a killer. It would have been extremely
difficult for us to prove what happened without that audio. Debbie's friends describe
her as a wonderful person. Not only do we see
that in description, but we also see in the
way she handled Scott. They described a woman,
who was hard working, who loved her kids, who
supported this family. All of her friends that
really came out in force, and I'm talking not two or
three, but 10 to 20 people that knew her, all the way
from two years ago, working at a restaurant, to 25
years ago when they first moved here as young
folks, described her as loving, caring, hardworking,
and wonderful, and supportive. To meet someone that
has that many friends, ranging from so many different
areas of their lives, was unique. NARRATOR: Increasingly,
CCTV footage is being used as evidence
to solve murder cases. In the UK, almost all of
Scotland Yard's homicide investigations use
CCTV as evidence. On average, each
person in London is caught on camera
hundreds of times a day, including gang members. A large amounts of
organized crime groups emanate from big urban areas. That area may get saturated with
different gangs or competing for a small market. So for example, around
drugs or criminal property. It's all about
generating the money, and that is where the
issues then start. The gangs then start butting
up against each other and competing for that
territory, for that market, and that is generally where we
see an escalation of violence. NARRATOR: Video evidence
is crucial for working out exactly what's happened
when gang members attack others. The use of CCTV plays such
a pivotal role in these cases, as it allows post an
incident, the investigation team to build up a timeline,
to identify key individuals, key vehicles, key locations. Ultimately, you've got to
go to court with a case and prove it to a jury
beyond reasonable doubt. And there's nothing more
imperative than moving pictures. NARRATOR: Coventry,
West Midlands. This sprawling city has a
population of nearly 350,000. The Coventry area is
part of the wider West Midlands area, very
built up urban area, very diverse communities. There is a lot of social
economical problems and deprivation within the area. So there are, generally,
some of the conditions that cause organized
crime to flourish. People are looking for
income sources, for example. Very little opportunity
for legitimate job. Therefore, perfect breeding
ground for organized crime, drug dealing, drug distribution,
general, what we would call, acquisitive crime, burglary,
robbery, et cetera. NARRATOR: 21-year-old
Emmanuel Lakanga lived in Tile Hill, two miles
from Coventry City Center. Emmanuel, also known
as Manny to his friends, was a keen boxer, aspired
to be a paramedic, and had a child with
another on the way. His parents had fled the war
in Congo and settled in the UK to look for a better life. NARRATOR: Unfortunately, the
Tile Hill area was, itself, a center of conflict. People like Emanuel
and people who live in certain
geographical areas have more challenges
than others. Anti-social behavior,
low level petty crime. NARRATOR: Emmanuel became
associated with a gang in the Tile Hill area. The kind of person who
typically joins a gang is someone who is socially
isolated, so they don't have many friends, often, or,
at least, not friends who can act as mentors or who
can be sort of positive people in their lives. A lot of it has to do
with the social aspect of joining a gang. NARRATOR: On the
12th of June 2019, Emmanuel strayed from the safety
of his local area, Tile Hill, into a rival gangs
territory around three miles away in Canley. Steve Jones is a former police
officer, who now teaches advanced policing studies. Within Manny's
case, the fact that he was seen on the rival gangs
geographical area of control is a massive red flag, a
massive provocation to them. So the build up then having
Manny being seen in that area, they can either ignore it,
which probably, to that gang, will be seen as a
sign of weakness. So they basically then
need to send the message to their rivals, stay away. Stay out of our area. NARRATOR: Police
obtained CCTV footage of a Canley gang member, who
knew that Emmanuel was nearby. Emi Polito is a
forensic video analyst. Police would value
this particular footage because he actually shows very
good view of this person's face and his clothing, his
helmet, and his footwear. NARRATOR: Shortly
after, a motorcycle was spotted in the Canley area. We can see that this
person is carrying something, presumably
a petrol can or an object of this nature. And what's even more
important in this footage is that this person at
the back of the motorcycle is wearing a motorcycle helmet
with quite an extended visor, which is similar to the helmet
that we've seen in the clip before. Very short time after, Manny's
car is subject to an arson and set on fire. NARRATOR: Kirsty Bennett is
a lecturer in criminology, specializing in policing. So Manny, with
his car on fire, he was pretty aware that
he was being targeted. And it might have
been a warning to him as well that violence
was on the cards. NARRATOR: But the arson attack
also presented another problem. They also stop Manny being
able to quickly leave the area. One of the big problems
with gang relationships, especially when they go sour,
is that there's what seems like never ending retaliation. Because you hurt a member of
somebody's group, and then they hurt one of yours, and
then you hurt one of them, and then they hit
three of yours, and then you hurt three of them. And it can be really difficult
to get out of that bouncing back and forth of retaliation. And so, the turf wars can
escalate over seemingly minor things into really extreme
situations and really extreme versions of retaliation. NARRATOR: With
their car burnt out, Emmanuel and his
fellow gang members tried to escape
the area on foot, but their rival gang
was tracking them down. We're seeing two
suspects on a motorcycle. Posters on the back is still
featuring lights on footwear, and this distinctive-looking
helmet with extended visor. And then, we see a blue van,
quite forcefully and rapidly mounting the curb, and two
persons hiding their identity, one carrying a
weapon, which is very consistent with being an axe. NARRATOR: The rival Canley gang
chased members of the Tile Hill gang into a convenience
store, where they were caught on camera. This footage is
actually great because it just so happens that the camera
is very close to the subject. You can see clear motives
on the helmet now. The position of the hands
is quite interesting. And there is a light item. Potentially, that
could be a weapon. But it's this
peculiar way in which the hands are being held behind
the back, which is of interest. NARRATOR: CCTV outside
captured the rival gang members after they left the shop. The extra lens gave a better
view of their weapons. The body language
here suggests confidence and clear
intent here to cause some serious hurt or damage. Generally, you don't
carry those kind of weapons, unless you are
intent on using them because that carries too
much of a risk of them being detected by the police. NARRATOR: CCTV cameras captured
Emmanuel and other members of the Tile Hill gang,
trying to flee the scene. This clip is
incredibly important because it's the first
time that we actually see the people being chased. Even though we
can't see his face, but, again, we can see
the clothing he's wearing and the fact that they're
clearly running away. NARRATOR: Back in
their blue van, the rival Canley gang was
catching up with them. There's a bit of cat
and mouse chase going on. The van is driving erratically. NARRATOR: The rival
gang members are seen driving close to Emmanuel. Now, we can see the
motorcycle with the person with that distinctive helmet. You can tell by body
language that there is rivalry going on there. Potentially,
something bad is going to happen between this
party and that party. We have them in the same shots. NARRATOR: Emmanuel tried
to escape down an alleyway, but the armed rival gang
members were in pursuit. We can discern an object
of considerable size, which may be the weapon
that we've seen before. Person with the
helmets, again, we can link this footage
to previous sighting of the suspect. That isn't normal behavior. Walking around the
street with an axe is a bit of a red
flag to most people, so they risk all the
members of the public, call then the police. And in this case, all
the members of the public then filming the
incident because it is out of the normal. Carrying a weapon is often as
a way of protecting themselves. So if they did have a
dispute with a rival, they have something
to protect themselves. But then, it massively increases
that risk of fatal violence. It can feel,
potentially, to members within a gang that they
don't have the choice to not engage in violence. So if the group is saying,
we need to retaliate. We need to go
attack this person. You might feel like, well, I
have to join now because that's what we're doing. Within some gangs,
there's also the potential for upward mobility. So basically, promotions
within the gang, if you do certain tasks. And certain tasks
can, usually or often, involve criminal activity,
anything from selling drugs to engaging in violence,
including retaliation against rival gangs. And so, that can be one way
to climb the gang ladder, if you will. NARRATOR: Seconds
after the video showing the gang brandishing weapons,
a witness in the area heard the rival gang
shouting potential threats. So the witness evidence
of one of the neighbors. He heard one of the
suspects shouting, someone's going to get poked. The use of that
phrase, obviously, it's street slang of what is
commonly known that they were going to use a
knife, that somebody was going to get stabbed. If you think their adrenaline
would be absolutely coursing at this
point because they're at that point where they're
about to confront Manny. NARRATOR: Emmanuel La
Kanga was stabbed, trying to escape over a garden fence. We are looking at another
angle of the same scene. We're now seeing suspect
with helmet and distinctive combination of clothing again. So presumably, the crime
has been committed. They're no longer
chasing the victim, but they are fleeing the scene. NARRATOR: He died at the scene. We don't have the fortune of
having the murder on camera. We very rarely do. And therefore, a CCTV
sighting just before and after could be crucial. It appears to be a
handheld mobile phone. A witness in the vicinity,
having an understanding of what's happening
and making sure they're recorded as evidence. Now, this clearly
shows the weapon, a knife, potentially, or an
object of considerable size. The police know that
they have a weapon, and they will be
looking for this weapon to seize as evidence. NARRATOR: An extensive
search through CCTV footage, after the crime was committed,
showed one of the suspects filming themselves. Police would then assume
that there is a recording somewhere on the internet. NARRATOR: The CCTV
led the police to uncover a chilling
confession on social media. This clip can be considered
an admission of guilt because the suspect
is boasting about it. That clip completely
seals the deal, puts everything else together. Offenders may use platforms,
like social media and Snapchat, to show what they've
done because they're showing that they are capable
of handling themselves. They have done what was
required of them to just show their bravado, to show how
they would respond to threats, to their safety, or
their livelihood, which might be
protecting their turf. And it's showing a
point to the people as well of they maybe should
be concerned if they are rivals to the gangs because
they're not afraid to use excessive violence. NARRATOR: The man
in the video footage was identified as 19-year-old
Andrew Roy Ruddock. Bragging about committing
crimes on social media platforms or any
platforms, really, seems so counterintuitive
because it's obviously incriminating evidence. But if you think
you're untouchable or that the police aren't
going to come get you, basically, then you're
less likely to be cautious. You're more likely
to be high risk. And being high risk and bragging
about these kinds of crimes gets you credibility
within the group. So you've got two
factors going on. One is overconfidence in your
ability to evade detection. On the other hand, you've
got the credibility that you can get by posting. And those two come together
and make you do, frankly, quite stupid things
by posting really incriminating evidence online. From an investigation's
team point's of view, that
footage of Ruddock, bragging about what
they've done to Manny on social media, it's gold. It's investigative gold. It just shows that
he is effectively admitting that he has used
a high level of violence. And in this case, stabbed Manny. So he is basically
confirming himself as the person who
has struck what we now to be the fatal blow. NARRATOR: The murder
weapon was later recovered. It was dumped in a nearby river. In this case, it was proven
that Ruddock was the male who struck the fatal blow by
plunging the 13 centimeter hunting style knife
into Manny's buttock. And the consequence
of him doing that was that he severed
a major artery, which caused Manny to bleed to death. NARRATOR: But Ruddock
wasn't acting alone. The investigation was able
to prove that there were three people involved
in Manny's murder, all members of that rival gang. NARRATOR: Following a six-week
trial by jury, all three men Andrew Roy Ruddock,
Bradley Richardson, and Matthew Rankin were
convicted of murder under joint enterprise. What joint enterprise
means is there is a principal member,
who commits the offense, the actual act of the crime. And in this case,
this was Ruddock plunging the knife
into Manny's buttock and causing the fatal injury. However, Rankin had
brought that knife to and facilitated the use
of the knife by Ruddock. And therefore, he was
convicted at the same level. NARRATOR: Because of the
location of the wound, questions remain about
whether Ruddock actually intended to kill Emmanuel. There was a phase, where
a rival gang members stabbed each other in the
buttocks and rectum because they knew it would cause
such damage to the structures that they would be left
with a stoma, for example. So it's almost that
degrading of somebody. But the only point that you
can say is that if you-- anybody must realize that if
you plunge a 13-centimeter knife into somebody with force,
that you would cause potentially fatal injuries. NARRATOR: The video
footage was crucial. Without the video
evidence, perhaps, there wouldn't have been enough
to convict the persons responsible for the crime. CCTV or video, in
general, is a key element now in investigation. Now, it can really be
the difference between a prosecution or an acquittal. The cameras in Manny's
case played a crucial part in, not only identifying
the suspects, the people involved, but
the sequence of events. So the use of the vehicle,
the use of the bike to escape the scene. So capturing the offenders, not
the actual act itself, but to caught the offenders with
the axe, with the knife. There's nothing more imperative
than moving pictures. NARRATOR: Andrew
Roy Ruddock, Bradley Richardson, and
Matthew Rankin were all sentenced to life in prison. Kyle Kinchen was sentenced
to 27 months for arson. Riley Madden was given
a community order to serve 100 hours
for handling stolen goods, which included
the motorbike used to chase down Emmanuel. Emanuel La Kanga's
killer was caught by the reckless
misconception that he could brag on social media
and get away with it.
