Stablehand battered his friend to death with a frying pan after catching him having sex with his girlfriend

A jealous stablehand brutally beat his friend to death with a frying pan after he caught him having sex with his girlfriend. Bryan Harris, 45, from Newton Abbot, Devon, claimed he had been ‘defending his dignity’ when he battered victim Paul Drury in a prolonged attack that lasted up to 15 minutes. Exeter Crown Court heard how Mr Drury had been a guest at the home Miss Lewis shared with Harris when Harris awoke to find their room empty and Miss Lewis moaning. Harris told the jury: ‘She was moaning in pleasure downstairs and Paul was naked on top of her and they were having sex on the floor of the living room. ‘I said to Paul “what are you doing?”

‘I was shouting and swearing at him. He got off her and we exchanged words. I was very annoyed and hurt and being betrayed by him and Dawn. ‘He told me he loved her too and said I’d used her for money. I told him I loved the girl.’ Harris admitted fighting Mr Drury and said: ‘I was giving him a hiding to say “keep off my missus”. I had lost all control. I did not realise how badly I had injured him.’
