THREE teenagers have gone on trial charged with the murder of Taunton student Lloyd Fouracre.

Exeter Crown Court heard today that Lloyd and his friends were set upon by a gang who felled him with a parking sign and then stamped on his head.

He was set upon as he left Taunton Vale Sports Club on 25 September last year.

Andrew Betty, of Priorswood Road, Jay Wall, of St David's Close and Ross McCormack, of Pyrland Avenue, Taunton all deny murder.
