Murder of Evan Jones





Around 10 pm on March 13, 2002, 46-year-old Evan Jones would enjoy a drink at the Beaufort Pub in York Road Montpelier in Bristol, England. He would leave the pub likely going to get food to bring home to eat. 

An hour later he would be found unconscious in a pool of blood on Stokes Croft. He would be brought to the Bristol Royal Infirmary where he would die. It was found that he had been beaten with a chain and kicked viciously.  The murder weapon was believed to be a bike or large dog chain. Police believe that he was attacked by someone he knew. 

It's believed he made it back to his flat and injured his leg somehow. He had stopped on Drummond Street and while there he called an old girlfriend. At 10:55 he then was seen in front of Avonmead House flats speaking to a man there and a fight ensued.

Some people claimed to have witnessed the attack. There were conflicting statements about the attacker or attackers. It's not fully understood what had happened except he was found dying around 6 minutes later.
