William Hughes, Marcus Miller and Stephen Bonallie
Behold the brave faces of these three brave heroes – 21-year-old William Hughes, 16-year-old Marcus Miller and 17-year-old Stephen Bonallie!
Despite the dangers they faced, despite the public outcry that would dissuade most humans, despite the damage to their own fists, these three individuals overcame all obstacles and managed to beat 23-year-old Brent Martin unconscious in the middle of the street on the 23rd of August, 2007.
Out on his own since May, Brent Martin, a mentally disabled man who had lived a large portion of his life in mental hospitals, had spent over 3000 pounds that he’d saved up in order to make some friends.
As Brent Martin was walking past William Hughes, Marcus Miller and Stephen Bonallie, a bet was proposed.
Stephen Bonallie, who had trained as a boxer, didn’t think Marcus Miller could knock the muppet out with one punch. Marcus Miller, who had also trained as a boxer, disagreed, and told Stephen that 5 pounds said he could knock out Brent before Stephen could.
Stephen took that bet, and the pair, along with William Hughes, walked towards a mentally-handicapped, good-natured guy who always had a smile on his face, and started to lay into him.
After the first several punches, Brent Martin was probably a bit confused. He thought these guys were his friends. He had hung out with them before, gotten along with them previously…maybe they were just mad.
He didn’t want to fight.
He loved them.
So he ran from them.
He ran a mile and a half, with William Hughes, Marcus Miller and Stephen Bonallie on his tail, kicking at him, knocking him down and punching him when they could, in a manner reminiscent of a pack of wolves running down their prey.
Like an elk that a wolf pack has targeted for dinner, Brent Martin didn’t stand a chance.
The three finally cornered Brent Martin, who tried to shake hands with his tormentors as they began to kick, head-butt and hit him. Brent Martin told them that he loved them and begged them to stop hitting him.
He cried as one of the three slammed him into a car hard enough to make a large dent.
He sobbed as they stomped on his head while he was lying on the ground.
After some particularly savage kicks, Brent Martin lost consciousness and the three brave heroes posed for photographs before walking away and leaving Brent (who had also had his pants taken off) lying next to a parked car.
Witnesses to the event called emergency services, who took Brent Martin to a hospital. He never regained consciousness and died two days later as a result of his brain injuries.
According to witnesses, once the three had realized that Brent Martin was dead, Stephen Bonallie stated:
I am not going down for a muppet.
But Stephen Bonallie did go down, after a trial where he was found guilty in January of 2008.
William Hughes, who happens to be a father of two, pled guilty, as did Marcus Miller.
Marcus Miller’s lawyer, Ben Nolan, pled for mercy in sentencing, stating that Marcus had an IQ of 79 or so and that alcohol was responsible for his actions. Ben Nolan stated:
Alcohol is readily available at all times of day and night at a ridiculously low cost.
Yes, it’s always that demon rum that causes problems, isn’t it?
The judge, who was not impressed with the heroism of William Hughes, Marcus Miller or Stephen Bonallie, sentenced them all to lengthy prison terms.
William Hughes will be in prison for 22 years before he is eligible for parole. Stephen Bonallie will be in prison for 18 years before he’s considered for parole. And poor, retarded Marcus Miller might be given parole after 15 years in the joint.
Civilized society will miss them.

These guys must have no souls whatsoever. Who in the HELL could keep beating a poor, helpless individual as he’s saying he loves you and asking why you’re doing that to him?!? Who?!? These guys deserve Hell. I hate hearing or reading about helpless people who get taken advantage of by big, badasses who can’t pick on somebody their own size/mentality. I can’t imagine what that poor guy was thinking. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it. If that was my son, I would find these 3 and give them a taste of their own medicine. Bastards need to rot.
tru thAT KIM, I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERD MERCY IF THE POOR MUPPET WAS FIGHTING BK AND TRY DEFEND HIMSELF BUT NO, AS HE BEGGED, CRIED AND PAID THESE LUNATICS, HELL NO, THE JUDGE WAS ALSO KIND ON THE SENTENCING
No, Stephen, you didn’t go down for a Muppet. You went down for killing a human being.
I am going to assune that this happened in England given that the currency was “pounds”.
This goes to show that guns only make it easier to kill, but a low quality POS will still enjoy a more difficult killing as long as very little could go against them.
The good English seemed to follow proper protocol – be made aware of the beating, notify the proper authorities and watch the beating contine until said authorities arrive and then the spectators can tell the authorities what they say.
If America is thoroughly disarmed, this may become quite the norm here as well.
Too bad this did not happen in Texas infront of Joe Horn’s house. Brent Martin may still be alive and our 3 heroes would have some issues with their asses going throuh metal decters!
hahahaha I definately like that Joe Horn comment, very true indeed….
RTFO Joe Horn for GOD! What kind of monsters harm a mentally disabled person? Pathetic little shits I say. I hope the get to room with Big Dick Black in a London prison. Good luck fuckers and try to hold onto the soap.
OMG, there were witnesses. I totally missed that part. WTF were these people doing?!? You know, I might not be big enough or strong enough to take on three young men, but by God, I sure would have picked up some rocks or something and at least tried to help that poor guy. I can’t believe people. That shit makes me sick.
Kim…the guy didn’t die for 2 days. I’m sure the witnesses were friends of the boys and that’s how they knew what he said about not going down.
That is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. He suffered for 2 freaking days before he died. And these guys didn’t get life in prison?!? That poor guy. I just want to cry now. How can they get such short sentences? I can’t believe that. I’m at a loss for words here. Sigh….the system sucks sometimes.
These 3 are such heroes – the world is just such a bad place because of muppets – NOT!
Knowing how cikivilzed the English are, I am sure that these 3 heroes will be treated much better than many of the muppets still roamingthe country-side.
It would be a slightly nicer world if Great Britain would hang these heroes on Big Ben – litterally. I am sure that all the “muppets” will love the new wind chimes!
This one bothers me. 22, 18, and 15 years. So what? Brent Martin is dead.
I don’t need this shit.
II HES ARNLY DEAD D THATS MY UNCLE THEM 3 SHUD SENT DOWN FOR LIFE AND NEVER GET EWT
What sick little fucks! I’m glad the little shits got caught though. Hope they get put away for a long time because they have nothing to brag about.
Whether people had guns or not, most people don’t want to get involved. I would also comment on why this poor guy wasn’t given better help by social services but that’s another story..
Miserable pieces of shit. I love this site!! hope every last piece of garbage who is profiled here reads every last comment. as if that would alter their consious. either way, its not up to anyone to really decide who goesto hell but i sleep better knowing they eventually wiill and hopefuully life herewill be full of remorse, sorrow, misery, for them.
I doubt if they’re going to care until Bubba makes them his bitches!
I guess their boxing careers will do them good where they are. I hope they rot, people like that…make me just sick. 2 days it took for that poor guy to die with brain injuries which was likely due to swelling and pressure on his skull. Even out cold, that’s 2 days of pain. Evil people…being drunk should be completely removed from defense attorneys vocabularies.
what heroes! it must’ve taken a lot of courage to beat a disabled person to death.
This is one of the sickest, saddest things I’ve read. They deserve unending misery.
What a sick, sorry bunch of shit eaters. I will never understand how some people can act so cruelly. That poor man.
Im just thinking about how scared he must have been and how he was probably wondering what he had done wrong.
Those fucking assholes deserve more than just jail time.
Not to sound callous or uncaring, but isn’t a muppet a Jim Hensen creation? Think me sick and twisted, but I couldn’t help laughing when I vizualized these kids kicking the shit out of Miss Piggy and Kermit……..
But on a serious note, Dude! WTF!? The guy was begging these idiots to stop, telling them he loved them, and they still beat him so bad that he lingered for 2 DAYS before he died!? Just give me five minutes alone with them. Then they won’t have to linger unless put on life support. Bastards
This is one of the saddest stories I’ve read on PYSIH. I’ve been a long time lurker, just recently started posting. And scum like this makes me really appreciate my dog. I would honestly just love to know what goes through a person’s head to do this to someone so helpless. And to CONTINUE doing it while the person is begging and telling you he loves you. *sigh* It really is a sad state of affairs in the world today.
Everyone that comments here gives me hope for humanity.
I’m new here and a lurker as well and I never seen this story before. I’m wiping the tears outta of my eyes, I am speechless. this reminds me of 8-year-old Cary Ann Medlin. she told her kidnapper that ‘Jesus loves you’ just before he stabbed her in the neck with a pocket knife. this is a kind of evil that shouldn’t exist in this world. this is just so sad.
Wow, this actually makes me very sad. How could these “people” do that to someone? Just him telling them he loved them as they beat him to death just stabs you in the heart.
I can’t believe they got off with such a light sentence. =(
Brent martin was my twin brother i hate these bastards that done this to him he had only been out of hospiatl a short time after 8 yrs away for learning difficulties. i would love to kill these cunts but then i would be bad like them. they should be hung!!!! and as for their senteces well thats another story because the origional ones was cut by 8 yrs between them by the high courts down london how bad is that?? there will ever be enough justice we are already living in hell. god bless you brent i love and miss you so much.xxx
I’m so sorry for your loss. I have a son who could be considered a “muppet” and I just felt my heart twist reading about your brother.
You know what the kicker is to their short sentences? Not only will they be able to go on with their lives as free beings once out, but their government will also likely give them new identities to keep them safe. They will get educated and receive money enough to buy a small house or whatever too. How sick is that? God, I hate the Canadian and American system but at least it’s better than theirs.
yeah it makes me sick to my stomach to even think about it! to think they will have the chance to have there lives back even have children. brent didnt have a chance. it really wouldent supprise me if they return here to there home town when they are out as i belive thats the mentality of them!! wish they would drop dead and the goverment stinks!!!

The most heinous, awful thing I’ve read yet on this site. Rest in peace, Brent…
those three little boys deserve to get a real ass kicking by m. ali….. and then a bullet between the eyes. RIP Brent. These sorry peices of shit should have died before you. and to the witnesses who waited until the beating was over to call the cops (if i’m correct) fuck you too you little pussies! how do you NOT call the cops ASAP or even try to help?
The day the first of this vermin is released will be a day we remember of all of the right reasons ;D
Until that great day comes, I urge all decent people to hunt down and exterminate any relative or ‘friend’ of these animals. It is the only decent thing to do.
Who decides who is “decient” or not? You? Me? Not me then who?
The family members had nothing to do with this disgusting act.
