Anthony Marks was assaulted while seeking shelter in a bin shed close to King's Cross St Pancras station.
1/ A 16-year-old girl has been charged with the murder of Anthony Marks, a 51-year-old homeless man, in a shocking case in central London.
2/ Anthony Marks, who was seeking shelter in a bin shed near King’s Cross St Pancras station, was attacked on 10 August. His death highlights the vulnerability of homeless individuals in urban areas.
3/ The accused girl is from Brixton, South London. Due to her age, her identity is protected by law. She’ll face the Croydon Magistrates' Court. This raises questions about youth involvement in violent crimes.
4/ This isn’t the first charge in the case. In October, a 17-year-old boy from Dagenham was also charged with Marks’s murder. His trial is set for next year. Why is violence among minors escalating?
5/ Homelessness exposes people to extreme dangers. Studies show that homeless individuals are far more likely to experience violence, yet support systems remain insufficient to protect them/ Youth crime in the UK is a growing concern. According to recent data, violent crime by minors has risen by 20% in the last three years. Experts link this to socioeconomic instability and lack of guidance .
