Liam John Ashley

Killed by George Charlie Baker. Liam had earlier taken his mother's car without permission and in a bid to teach their son a valuable lesson, his parents Ian and Lorraine Ashley pressed charges and asked that he spend a night in the cells. Liam met 25-year-old George Charlie Baker when they were handcuffed together at Auckland Central Remand Prison early on the morning of 24 August 2006. Liam was placed in a prison van with high-risk prisoner George and prisoner David Olds in order to be transported from North Shore District Court to Auckland Central Remand Prison. Liam was still handcuffed to George who during the journey strangled Liam for about 15 minutes, wrenching his neck from side to side in an attempt to break it. During this time he threatened David with stabbing. As the van pulled into prison, George stomped on Liam's head about seven times, then rubbed the teenager's blood over his shirt and face. Liam was taken to Auckland Public Hospital where his life support was switched off the following day. Source: https://debbiemccauleyauthor.wordpress.com/biographies/new-zealand-....
