Choose your friends carefully
Andrew John Lewin 18 years of age was found dead in a sealed car on 29th July 1997, a full ten years later the formal Inquest into his death took place in England before a Coroner’s jury.
Evidence gathered during police investigations remain available and they confirm that Courtney Julius Kayne is the person responsible for placing an unconscious friend in his vehicle, driving it some 20 minutes to its final location at a tennis club, where he then abandoned him in a sealed car and where that friend subsequently died of heatstroke.
This vehicle was parked about 7 metres in front of the very room that Courtney Kayne shared with another friend who was asleep therein, and who could have rendered assistance if asked, the vehicle was also within 30 metres of the club tennis courts where a competition was in progress and further assistance was available.
The failure by Courtney Kayne to seek assistance in these circumstances was callous and grossly negligent and consequently Andrew John Lewin died.
MATTERS OF INTEGRITY
Much of the delay was because Courtney Kayne had deliberately embarked on a series of lies designed to deflect blame away from his actions which were the cause of this death.
He told the Spanish police he had known Andrew Lewin since the age of six years and they were like brothers, whereas they first met at senior school.
He stated that it was Andrew Lewin who had instigated a club visit after some visitors were taken home on the morning of the 29th of July, whereas the evidence is that it was Courtney Kayne who requested Andrew Lewin to keep him company on that journey.
He lied to the Spanish and UK police about a massive alcohol intake he said he had personally witnessed Andrew Lewin consume.
This allegation was subsequently disproved by the toxicology reports.
He lied about the existence of shade when he parked the vehicle in which Andrew Lewin died.
His excuse that Andrew Lewin was very heavy is an exaggeration - his weight was only (75kg).
His claim that no assistance was available is palpably untrue, it was available from multiple sources some within 7 metres, other potential help was within 30 metres.
His continuance of a nightclubbing lifestyle on the very day of Andrew Lewin’s death was despicable.
He also failed to appear as a witness at the Coroner’s court.
