Reece Radford Wiki – Reece Radford Biography

A pair of drunken thugs who murdered a good Samaritan who tried to stop them from attacking a teenage girl have been jailed for life. Reece Radford, 26, was kicked and stabbed to death after coming to the aid of a 17-year-old girl who had been attacked by Dereck Owusu at a bus stop in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Owusu, 40, and his friend Louis James, 47, who was carrying a knife, attacked Reece, who had a seven-month-old daughter, kicking him multiple times before James fatally stabbed him in the chest. But James was not in court for Reece’s mother, Laura Radford, to face when she got justice for Doncaster prison staff sending the wrong Mr James to Sheffield Crown Court.

Instead, court staff had to quickly arrange a video link to HMP Doncaster and the proceedings were viewed remotely by Reece’s killer. James’ lawyer, Stephen Wood KC, told the court: “In a case as serious as this, it is always preferable for the defendant to be present in court to receive sentence from him.”

Judge Sarah Wright responded: “I certainly agree, and it is quite astonishing that such a mistake should have been made and Mr. James not brought here today.” Wood acknowledged the “anguish” it caused Reece’s family, who were in court. Before sentencing, Reece’s stepfather, Mick Houghton, read a victim statement from his mother.

She described Reece as “the life and soul of the family,” adding that he would have been “the best dad in the world” to her daughter. “He wasn’t just my son, he was my best friend, my soul mate, my everything,” she said. The court heard that James, from Sheffield, and Owusu, from Rotherham, were talking and drinking with the 17-year-old at a bus stop in Arundel Gate when Reece walked by with a group of friends.

Prosecutor David Temkin KC said that after Reece witnessed Owusu beating the girl and that was the “catalyst” for her involvement, on September 29 last year, a fight broke out. Temkin said both defendants were “mad” at Reece. “What culminated in a joint attack by both defendants on a younger man, who was found on the ground, face up, subjected to serious violence,” Mr. Temkin said.

James then stabbed him in the chest and Owusu kicked him in the head “with vigor”.

Reece died six days later from a single stab wound to the chest.
