In a shocking and heart-wrenching crime, Marcus Huntley, 21, coldly murdered 40-year-old mum Joanne Penney at her doorstep in Talbot Green. Moments after taking this tragic action, Huntley disgustingly posed for a selfie with a gun gesture, showing a chilling lack of remorse.
Joanne, unfortunately, became a victim in a larger clash between rival crime groups. What ensued was a senseless and devastating act of violence, as Huntley travelled from Leicestershire to South Wales for a revenge attack. The incident has left a lasting scar on the community.
The court has now convicted several individuals involved: Huntley, Jordan Mills-Smith, 33, Joshua Gordon, 27, and Kristina Ginova, 22, with Melissa Quailey-Dashper, 40, participating in the murder. Tony Porter, 69, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter but was convicted for participating in the organised crime group.
Huntley, Mills-Smith, and Quailey-Dashper approached Joanne’s home, leading to the tragic shooting. As Joanne answered her door, Huntley took the heinous action of firing a bullet straight into her chest, resulting in her immediate collapse and death. They made a quick getaway, but justice has since caught up with them.
Adding to the shock, just 21 minutes after executing the crime, Huntley took a smug selfie, demonstrating an unimaginable callousness. The gun was later recovered, confirming the grim details of this sombre story.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the scourge of organised crime and its devastating impacts on individuals and communities. Our thoughts are with Joanne’s loved ones in this incredibly difficult time. Stay safe, everyone, and look out for one another.
