This is the chilling moment a vengeful ex-boyfriend and his family met up to murder his former girlfriend’s new lover in a sickening attack.
Trainee plumber Daniel Grogan, 20, became obsessively jealous after finding out Jay Sewell, 18, was seeing his ex-girlfriend Gemma Hodder, also 18, and plotted to kill him just days after.
Harrowing footage shown during his Old Bailey trial reveals the moment he met up with his family and best friend to end Mr Sewell’s life in Lee, south east London.
In the clip they are seen gathering in a park, with a group of them hanging around by the boot of a car.
Within seconds, they are seen running through the park – and just moments later they set upon their helpless victim with a fireman’s axe, baseball bats, hammers and knives.
Mr Sewell, who was sat in a car with friends and came from Eltham, south east London, died from a single stab wound to the chest. He was also knifed twice in the legs.
Grogan was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years at the Old Bailey last Tuesday.

The jury heard how in the week before the attack, Grogan became jealous of Mr Sewell over his relationship with Gemma.
He repeatedly threatened to kill him and the pair arranged to meet on the night of December 11, 2018.
Mr Sewell went to meet Grogan with friends and Gemma in the hope of stopping the yob harassing them.
But they were ambushed by the weapon-wielding mob and he was stabbed while in the car.
An 18-year-old man was also knifed in the attack and he and Mr Sewell were taken to a South London hospital.
He was pronounced dead in hospital at 10.34pm but his friend survived.
The gang were jailed for a combined total of more than 60 years at London’s Old Bailey last Tuesday.

A victim impact statement from Mr Sewell’s mother Sharon Louch read: ‘It breaks my heart to know that Jay will never be able to fulfil his dreams.

Family friend Jamie Bennett (above), 31, and a 17-year-old boy were convicted of violent disorder. He was sentenced last year
‘We as a family have taken whatever steps are necessary to ensure we have been there to support Jay and show him we care.
‘I have not worked and had so much time away from my children at a place in their lives when they need me the most.
‘There is no sentence this court or any other can pass which can come close to healing the pain or make up for not being able to look at my Jay’s face or hear him laugh.
‘I haven’t come here expecting or wanting it to. However, it does provide a glimmer of hope that those responsible have been held to account for their actions.
‘Jay you were a blessing and made us proud from the day you came to us until the moment you were taken.’
