Teenager killed his friend over taxi fare

Victim: Dylan Bates-Fox was killed
The son of a leading painter has admitted killing his friend in a row over a taxi fare.

Louis Chambers stabbed Dylan Bates-Fox in the heart while they were high on the drug Ketamine, a court heard.

The bust-up happened at a squat in Bethnal Green, east London, in July.

 

Chambers – whose father, Stephen Chambers, is a member of the Royal Academy – was branded a 'retard and mutant' during the row, the Old Bailey heard.

The accused, then 18, stabbed the 21-year-old from Hanwell, west London, and he died in hospital.

Chambers denied murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter due to provocation.

'He went over the top and he is sorry,' said his barrister, Stewart Jones, QC.

Chambers from Islington, north London was remanded into custody for further psychiatric reports and is due to be sentenced on March 13.

Here is his memorial webpage.  I do not understand how Chambers is playing the manslaughter due to provocation.  If the article is correct he is the one that headbutted Dylan's girlfriend.  I hope he gets the max, clearly he is not stable.

"Over the top"?? To say the very, very least.

I'm sure he IS sorry, because his ass will be sitting in jail for quite some time.

There's a reason a lot of drugs are illegal, its stupid that we even consider allowing them to excuse peoples' actions. I doubt that defense will do him any good at all. As for the provocation, I hope it doesn't get him anywhere either, but it will be interesting to hear what she said/did that he decided warranted a headbutt.
