Martin Daubney has said he is “chilled to the core” by the involvement of two teenage girls in a brutal attack on a homeless man.
Three teenagers have been sentenced for a fatal gang attack on a homeless man near King’s Cross station. Anthony Marks, 51, died from his injuries five weeks after the assault on August 10 last year.
On Monday at the Old Bailey, Jaidee Bingham, 16 at the time of the attack and known as ‘Ghost’, was sentenced to 16 years for murder.
Eymaiyah Lee Bradshaw-McKoy, then 16, and Mia Campos-Jorge, then 17, were sentenced to 47 months and 42 months in youth custody, respectively, for manslaughter.
Speaking about the attack on The People's Channel to barrister Steven Barrett, Martin said: “I just need to interject to point out something that viewers may have missed.
"Two of the assailants are female. The main murderer, who got 16 years, was a male. The other two people there, they’re young women now. Should that concern me more?
"Should it chill me more? Perhaps not in this age. I’m chilled to the core at the notion that two young teenage girls, a little older than my own daughter, could assist in such a barbarous crime and then pose on TikTok for selfies over the injured homeless man, the frail, vulnerable person. Where did we go so wrong?”

Mr Barrett replied: “Well, I do think we haven’t talked about parenting enough. As far as I’m concerned, we haven’t talked about parenting since the mid-90s.
"It is a major part of human civilisation. None of us are going to live forever, so how we raise the next generation of humans really matters.
"And it’s quite obvious that all three young people were not very well raised in order to get into this circumstance. I think it’s nice that you’re shocked that they are women.
"Civilisation is just a curtain that can always be pulled aside, but one of the great joys of a true civilisation is believing that women are inherently, somehow, better than men.

"They aren’t, of course, but it’s a nice indulgence that we all get to believe in.”
“If we’re going back to bare bones, if this is how we’re going to live, that our homeless are going to be beaten up and murdered by our young people, then I’m afraid you’re going to have to get a bit more shocked than this, Martin, because it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better.
"What we can say is that, actually, to its credit, the criminal justice system dealt with this relatively quickly in a speedy way. I know it gets criticism; I’m not always terribly kind on it. In terms of the individual judge, no doubt he was bound by sentencing guidelines."
Mr Marks was attacked with a piece of a car bonnet, chased, and repeatedly beaten with a gin bottle in what police described as a “ferocious county lines retaliation".
Photos and videos from the night of the assault showed the teenagers, now over 18 and able to be named, celebrating and taking selfies after the killing.
Prosecutors, led by Hugh Davies KC, told the court all three were members of the ‘Arron’ county lines drug gang, and Anthony Marks had been a customer.
The night before the attack, one of the girls had been robbed while working for the gang, and Bingham was ordered to find out who had taken the drugs.
The gang believed Marks knew what had happened and confronted him around 05:00 GMT the following morning. Marks refused to provide any information.
He was chased from Argyle Street to Whidbourne Street by Bingham and Bradshaw-McKoy. CCTV footage showed Bradshaw-McKoy wielding a long object, thought to be part of a car bumper.
Marks was repeatedly kicked and struck over the head with a glass bottle before a member of the public intervened, chasing the attackers away with a cricket bat.
