Whyteside

In her evidence from the witness box, Beddall added that she had later phoned Whyteside and could hear him saying, “Just leave the bikes,” before several further calls to him went unanswered.

Neighbors told the Telegraph and that Whyteside approached the teens to get the bikes back, and was attacked.

The defendant claimed to have been in fear for his life after being confronted by Whyteside, telling jurors he picked up a cricket bat after being chased and threatened.
