A MAN and a juvenile are beginning life sentences today after being convicted of murdering Dean Evans.

Lee Carter, 23, formerly of Devon Drive, Pembroke, will serve a minimum of 12 years in jail while the juvenile, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will serve a minimum of eight years.

The verdicts were delivered at Swansea Crown Court after a trial in which the jury heard how the pair kicked to death the 25-year-old in front of his girlfriend.
