The Tom ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust was set up after the murder,[2] and a school was built in his honour.

Tom ap Rhys Pryce was a 31-year-old lawyer who worked for Linklaters, an international law firm headquartered in London.

His ancestry was one well known within the military and among his ancestors was his great-grandfather, General Sir Henry Edward ap Rhys Pryce (1874–1950).

[5] At 13, Pryce won an academic and music exhibition which was later upgraded to a full scholarship at 16 to attend Marlborough College, Wiltshire, England.

From there Pryce went on to gain a First-Class honours at Trinity College, Cambridge in June 1996, where he read Classics staying on to study for a master's.

Pryce's book and gloves were lying outside No 56, a silver Audi car was smeared with blood outside No 82 and a list of wedding venues outside 84.

The pair were members of a violent gang calling itself the KG Tribe, taking part in the unlawful wounding of two commuters in December 2005 as well as other robberies.

When police searched his home, they found a pair of trainers that forensic tests showed had a drop of ap Rhys Pryce's blood on one toe.

[22] Both sentences were referred to the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) as "unduly lenient" by Her Majesty's Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith QC.

If Carty and Brown had been arrested at the beginning of their crime spree and sentenced to a stiff punishment, Mr ap Rhys Pryce might be alive today.

David Cameron criticised the Labour Government's criminal justice system and the absence of father-figures in ethnic minority cultures, which he claimed as causes in the murder of Pryce.

Cameron stated that lack of strong deterrent sentences for knife crimes and the failure of police to stop prolific criminals had played a role in the killing of Pryce.

[26] In January 2006 the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair created considerable controversy when he described the media as institutionally racist.

Matharu was run over and dragged almost 44 yards (40 m) by a car driven by thieves he had disturbed as they broke into a van parked outside his workplace.

The only security present was CCTV cameras, and the ticket barriers were left open allowing the suspects to enter the station freely.

The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone assailed Silverlink, the train company who managed the station, for not providing all-night staffing or security.
