Jody Dobrowski (1981–2005) was an assistant bar manager who was beaten to death on Clapham Common in a homophobic attack.
The murderes were arrested a week later. They admitted the crime and were sentenced to life imprisonment with a minumum term of 28 years. The sentences were passed in accordance with Section 146 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 which provides for stiffer sentences wher the crime was motivated by homophobia.
The TV film Clapham Common (2007) is partly based on the murder.
On 7th October 2012 the 17-24-30 No to Hate Crime Campaign is hosting a fundraising event at the Two Brewers, Clapham, to remember and mark the 7th anniversary of the murder.
