Edward Francis Trevenen Brown[1] KC (born January 1958) is an English barrister who specialises in international criminal law and human rights.

He currently practises at QEB Hollis Whiteman in London, chambers of Mark Ellison KC, where he heads the specialist criminal department.

[25] Hutchinson-Foster is accused of "selling or transferring" a BBM Bruni Model 92 handgun to Duggan contrary to the Firearms Act 1968, between 28 July and 5 August 2011.

Chief Supt Dean Haydon, from the Metropolitan Police's Trident Serious Crime Command, said: The Kevin Hutchinson-Foster trial has primarily been about the supply of an illegal firearm and I welcome the verdict of the jury in this case today.

[29] Prosecuting, Brown commented that Pearton was "the only white-skinned male participant in the incident"[30] when he was chased and eventually killed by a pack of "animals.

[31] Brown told the jury: Moments after Pearton arrived at the park, his so-called friends had evaporated and he was left to face the attackers on his own.

[39] In January 2017 Brown prosecuted Gintare Suminaite, 29-year-old mother from Crawley, West Sussex, who was charged with murder of her newborn child.

[41] The court heard that on 5 April 2016, Suminaite left work early saying she had "big problems" and gave birth in the bathroom at home, with her partner in another room.

Her partner found Suminaite lying naked in the bathroom surrounded by blood and a baby bath full of what appeared to be clothes.

Jurors at the Old Bailey heard that Suminaite was bleeding and pale when found by her boyfriend who eventually called an ambulance after she confessed what had happened.

[45] The court heard that the child lay undiscovered as medics initially did not spot the body in the baby bath and the couple did not mention it.

[52] At the completion of the trial Mr Justice Nicol said: The courts recognise in circumstances such as this, where there is no underlying psychiatric illness, where there is a low risk of re-offending or causing harm, that what might otherwise be thought of as lenient is the appropriate course, namely a non-custodial sentence.

[52]In August 2017, Brown prosecuted male escort Jason Marshall who murdered his client Peter Fasoli who he met in December 2012 through the social networking site Badoo, where he advertised his services under his "working" name "Gabriel".

[53] Marshal, who pretended to be an MI6 agent, was filmed by a computer repairman Peter Fasolli who he murdered in a bondage sex session after which he tried to kill another man while on the run in Italy.

[54] Peter Fasoli, a 58-year-old IT expert,[55] who lived in a bungalow located near RAF Northolt was terrorised and murdered in 2013 at his own house by Marshall who was called over for an hour of a bondage sex session.

[58] The footage shows Marshall, 28, calmly standing over the body of his client Peter Fasoli and signing "in the name of the father, the son and the Holy Ghost" in Latin, after killing him.

In the end he literally fought for his life but by the time Mr Fasoli fully understood the true motives of the person who had tricked his way into his home, it was too late.

But two years later when Fasoli's nephew was sorting through his belongings, he was horrified to discover a computer file containing CCTV footage of the entire event.

[60] The court heard how Marshall, who denied murder, first got in contact with Peter Fasoli in December 2012 through social networking site Badoo, inviting to set up a treesome and inventing the persona of a policeman.

[61] Prosecuting, Mr Brown told jurors: There is a telling feature of this case - whilst the defendant sought to tempt the deceased into thinking their encounter that night was to be sexual in nature, the sexual element of the night's events played only a short part early on and soon was superseded by physical domination and then violence.

[62] During sexual role play, Marshall stripped the victim and arrested him for "being a spy" and hacking into a Government laptop, the court heard.

[65] In February 2016 Marshal was arrested in Italy and extradited[66] to United Kingdom to face trial for murder of Fasoli he committed four years ago.

The investigation into Mr Fasoli's murder was started on 10 November 2014 by officers from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, after new evidence was passed to the MPS.

[67] The court has heard that Fasoli accidentally filmed his own bondage sex session murder at the hands of Jason Marshall dressed as policeman.

Jurors at the Old Bailey watched footage of Fasoli begging for his life as he was attacked by fantasist Marshall while classical music played in the background.

[76] In September 2015 Brown, in his capacity of Senior Treasury Counsel, appeared on Guilty by Association, a BBC One documentary that examines law of joint enterprise.

[77] The programme raised questions about how the courts deal with gang violence, what constitutes a murder and whether young people are being sentenced for crimes they did not commit.
