Brighton Attackers Convicted After Victim Dies of Sepsis
7 Jul
Summary
- Two men convicted for an assault that led to death by sepsis.
- Victim died five days after being repeatedly kicked while asleep.
- Family waited over six years for justice following the 2019 attack.
Two men, Oliver Priddle, 26, and Niraj Amaidas, 25, have been convicted of wounding with intent following a violent assault in Brighton on December 21, 2019. The victim, 34-year-old Cameron Devlin, died five days later from sepsis. The court heard that Devlin had fallen asleep outside a shop and was woken and then attacked, resulting in him being repeatedly kicked after falling to the ground.
Specialist medical expertise was required to establish the link between the assault and Devlin's death. The investigation was described as exceptionally complex, with Devlin's family waiting over six years for the proceedings to conclude. Priddle and Amaidas were acquitted of murder and manslaughter but found guilty of wounding with intent. They are scheduled for sentencing this Friday.
