The identity of a schoolboy who killed a devoted stepfather with a cricket bat in a row over his stepchildren's bikes has been revealed after he was jailed for life.

Jimmy Owens, 16, hit Derek Whyteside, 42, with a single blow when he tried to retrieve two bicycles that had been stolen from the children of his partner, Michelle Beddall.  

A judge today lifted a court order banning the media from naming Owens, after he was found guilty of the crime in the Mainslee area of Telford, Shropshire on June 18.  

He was sentenced at Stoke on Trent Crown Court today and will have to serve a minimum of 10 years before he is eligible for release.   

The teenager's father, William Owens - who struck Mr Whyteside on the head as he lay dying with a fractured skull - admitted affray and was also jailed for 20 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.

Judge Glenn, who condemned 'despicable' mobile phone pictures of the victim taken before he was put in the recovery position, praised the efforts of the schoolboy's mother to help Mr Whyteside, who died in hospital 36 hours later.

But the judge told the juvenile defendant that although he was not responsible for stealing the missing bikes, he had not 'done the decent thing' in helping to recover them.

The court heard that another youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was cautioned for theft.

The judge said of the fatal attack on: 'Derek Whyteside had decided to go and look for those who he plainly considered to be involved (in the theft). He was plainly ready for trouble.' 

The jury was told that he would be guilty of murder if he had intended to cause really serious harm when he attacked Mr Whyteside.

Passing sentence, Judge Glenn told him: 'You emerged from the bushes and struck him from behind with the bat.

'You aimed at his head. You used significant force. He had no chance to take evasive action - it was a vicious blow delivered in anger.'

Jailing William Owens, 41, Telford, Judge Glenn told him: 'Your part was, frankly, outrageous. 

'Your involvement and the effect on the community is so serious only custody is appropriate.'

Thugs: Gareth Owens and William Owens took part in the attack, the court heard. A 16-year-old boy who inflicted the fatal blow, but who cannot be named, has been convicted of murder

The judge said Australian-born Mr Whyteside - who had 'demons' involving alcohol and drugs - had behaved badly on the day in question but had paid a 'terrible and totally unjustified price' for doing so.

Mitigating for Jimmy Owens prior to sentencing, defence counsel Patrick Harrington QC said the younth had previously been chased by Mr Whyteside, and that provocation had played a role in the incident.

'The court may feel that this was a 16-year-old boy that left school that day with aspirations and ambition and did nothing wrong to cause the trouble that came to him,' he told the court.

In a victim impact statement read to the court on behalf of Mr Whyteside's partner, Michelle Beddall, she said: 'I am having to go through living hell because they acted like animals and can't face up to what they have done.

'I hate what they have done to me and my kids.'

Floral tributes were placed near the scene where Mr Whyteside was brutally murdered

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
