Pub murder: man charged.

DETECTIVES investigating the murder of a 49-year-old man in Chislehurst have charged a 31-year-old Eltham man.

Jason Richardson, of Beanshaw, was arrested last Thursday and charged with murder the next day. He was due to appear before Bromley magistrates on Saturday.

Father-of-two Roy Benefield, whose family are also from the Eltham area, died after a brawl outside the Penny Farthing pub, in White Horse Hill, last week.

Residents reported hearing a woman scream at about 10pm on Monday, August 19, and watched as police descended on the scene shortly after.

One neighbour looked out of her window to see a man lying face down in the pub car park. He died later in Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup.

Met Police serious crime group officers launched an immediate murder enquiry.

Man gets jail term for killing.

A WEIGHTLIFTER who killed a man by rupturing his bowel and stamping on him “like an insect” has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.

Jobless Jason Richardson, aged 32, of Beanshaw, Eltham, repeatedly punched and kicked Roy Benefield during a brawl outside a pub.

Many Penny Farthing regulars were too frightened to speak to police at the time, with one saying: “I saw something, a red bus went by 10 minutes ago.” Richardson was cleared of murder after claiming he had not been in control of his actions because of a mental condition. An Old Bailey jury found him guilty of manslaughter.

Mr Benefield’s family were said to be angry with the sentence but declined to comment afterwards.

Richardson had intervened when 49-year-old Mr Benefield argued with another man in the pub in Whitehorse Hill, Chislehurst, on August 19 last year.

The 6ft 3in builder kicked Mr Benefield between the legs and punched him to the ground.

One female witness said “He seemed absolutely insane. He stamped on him three or four times. It was like stamping on an insect.” One of the blows to Mr Benefield’s abdomen ruptured a blood vessel in his bowel. He died later in Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup.

Richardson says he suffers depression and panic attacks.
