Jordan Rance, 17, was found guilty of murdering Paul Marsh
Jordan Rance was convicted of the murder of Paul Marsh following a trial earlier this year. His identity was prohibited from being published during the trial due to his young age, but following representations by the Manchester Evening News, he can now be named.
Mr Marsh, 49, had been ‘attempting to provoke’ Rance, who had delivered drugs to the flat, by asking what he was looking at on his phone and prodding him to attract his attention, prosecutor Michael Hayton KC told Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court. 'No one has the right to take his life' In an emotive victim impact statement, Mr Marsh’s mum, Carol Ann Smith, said: “He was a character loved by many, endured by others - whatever the circumstances it was an interaction you never forgot. I will never profess that my son was an angel and won’t paint him as something he wasn’t because he is no longer with us.
Whilst Rance was in custody, he called members of his family asking them to go back to the flat on Samuel Street to get them to ‘cancel the witnesses’. Violence erupted after Rance’s groups made offensive comments about them being members of the ‘goth community’. On CCTV footage he was seen to kick a boy to the head causing him to lose consciousness, before stabbing another boy with a large knife.
