who lured her former boyfriend to a remote spot

:00:07.:00:12.

where he was battered to death with metal poles

:00:13.:00:16.

The murder plot was hatched between Rebecca Ryan and Scott Swift.

:00:17.:00:23.

He was said to be jealous of her former boyfriend,

:00:24.:00:25.

Michael Beckwith was described as likeable and popular.

:00:26.:00:33.

Last July he was lured to a secluded lane in Harwich where two masked men

:00:34.:00:37.

His honour, Judge Gratwicke, described it as a vicious

:00:38.:00:43.

and cowardly attack in which Michael Beckwith stood

:00:44.:01:01.

no chance, as his life was battered out of him.

:01:02.:01:04.

She had been engaged to Michael Beckwith and was jealous

:01:05.:01:07.

because she thought he had been texting an old flame.

:01:08.:01:10.

She asked him to drive her to the spot where the attackers waited.

:01:11.:01:13.

Afterwards she rang 999, claiming she was an innocent bystander.

:01:14.:01:15.

How many people were there attacking him?

:01:16.:01:17.

They were covered and I could not see.

:01:18.:01:22.

But a jury at Chelmsford Crown Court heard she knew exactly

:01:23.:01:24.

who carried out the attack because she helped mastermind it.

:01:25.:01:27.

Scott Swift used to go out with Rebecca Ryan and he took part

:01:28.:01:30.

He then returned to the scene, spent some time almost pretending

:01:31.:01:34.

to tend to Michael and even making comments like, "Look

:01:35.:01:36.

You can imagine this sickening act of not only having been involved

:01:37.:01:41.

in the attack but then to come back to the scene and try and pretend

:01:42.:01:44.

Joe Smith, a teenager, was the second attacker.

:01:45.:01:48.

He was easily led and tagged along with Swift.

:01:49.:01:50.

Michael Beckwith lived with his mother, Iris.

:01:51.:01:52.

She was inconsolable and died shortly before the trial began.

:01:53.:01:54.

The family spoke of the huge impact both losses have had.

:01:55.:01:58.

Michael's murder has taken everything away from us.

:01:59.:02:00.

A son from a mother who could not take the strain of the trial,

:02:01.:02:07.

and passed away from a heart attack just before it started.

:02:08.:02:09.

An uncle from a nephew he never got to see grow into a young man,

:02:10.:02:13.

a cousin who we all could share a laugh witn and new we could turn

:02:14.:02:17.

Murderers Swift and Ryan were both jailed for life,

:02:18.:02:24.

Swift got a minimum of 24 years, Ryan 17.

:02:25.:02:28.

Joe Smith got 12 years for manslaughter, and a married

:02:29.:02:31.

couple who helped dispose of bloodstained clothing both got

:02:32.:02:36.

two and a half years for perverting the course of justice.

has become a symbol of the 2008 economic crash.

:02:45.:02:49.

will have 149 apartments and a number of commercial units.

:02:50.:03:01.

For the best part of a decade the Winerack has sat looking

:03:02.:03:04.

But now at last things are on again, ?20 million of funding in the shape

:03:05.:03:15.

of two loans with interest, which will need to be repaid

:03:16.:03:17.

15 million from the Government's Homes and Communities agency,

:03:18.:03:23.

the rest from the Eat Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership,

:03:24.:03:28.

which uses Government funding to kick-start projects.

:03:29.:03:29.

Make no mistake, this is public money and we take it very seriously,

:03:30.:03:33.

and of course the interest we get on the loan repayment we can put

:03:34.:03:36.

So a lot of people will benefit, and not just the people

:03:37.:03:44.

who will come and live here and enjoy living

:03:45.:03:46.

Two years ago there were hopeful signs when a local developer,

:03:47.:03:50.

John Howard, took on this part-built site and put the work to complete

:03:51.:03:53.

Even getting to that point had been tough.

:03:54.:03:56.

Obviously it has been frustrating how long it has taken

:03:57.:03:59.

to get it off the ground, but now we are getting the tender

:04:00.:04:02.

out and things will start happening quite quickly.

:04:03.:04:04.

Today he admitted since then construction costs have risen,

:04:05.:04:06.

bankers unwilling to commit, so this loan funding is not just

:04:07.:04:09.

I think with a scheme like this what the Government have

:04:10.:04:16.

done is very positive and forward-thinking

:04:17.:04:18.

and without the loan it still wouldn't have happened either,

:04:19.:04:21.

so with them and the money we ourselves are putting in,

:04:22.:04:24.

This project has always promised so much, almost 150 new homes,

:04:25.:04:30.

fresh commercial space and more than 50 new jobs.

:04:31.:04:33.

Hopefully, finally, if all developers' ducks end up in a row,

:04:34.:04:36.

it could be transformed from total eyesore to totally eye-catching.

:04:37.:04:38.

Work should start in September and take two years to complete,

:04:39.:04:50.

from stagnation to sleek and stylish.

The money was announced in the budget.

The Liberal Democrats say it's "cynical electioneering."

:05:22.:05:24.

and the Green Party has been campaigning in Norfolk.

:05:25.:05:29.
