Sentencing Remarks of The Honourable Mr Justice Saini
13 April 2022
1. On 10 June 2021, at around 9pm, Mr Ryan O’Connor, aged 26 years, was
murdered and robbed on the Balfe Road roundabout in Newport, South Wales.
Ryan lost his life because those responsible for his death wished to rob him of
his Gucci man bag. That bag contained a small amount of cash and some
cigarettes. Ryan did not know his killers and they did not know him. Minutes
before the attack Ryan had enjoyed a meal with his family. He was on his way
home when he was stabbed multiple times in a vicious and cowardly attack.
Despite the brave efforts of passing members of the public, and the emergency
services, to save his life, Ryan died next to the roundabout at around 9.30pm.
The extensive knife wounds he had suffered made it impossible to save him.
There remains a fitting memorial to him on that roundabout.
2. On 11 and 12 March 2022, Mr Joseph Jeremy, Mr Lewis Aquilina, Mr Ethan
Strickland and Mr Kyle Raisis were convicted by a jury of a number offences
arising out of Ryan’s death and robbery.
3. Mr Jeremy was convicted of the murder and robbery of Ryan. Mr Aquilina was
also convicted of the murder and robbery of Ryan. Mr Strickland was convicted
