A FORMER public schoolgirl who hurled homophobic abuse at a gay civil servant before kicking and stamping on him was facing jail after being found guilty of manslaughter.

Ruby Thomas, 18, was convicted of the unlawful killing of 62-year-old Ian Baynham, who died 18 days after the drink-fuelled assault in London’s Trafalgar Square.

Police found his blood smeared on her handbag and the ballet pumps she was wearing as she kicked him.

The court heard Thomas, whose address was given at previous hearings as Pass Avenue, Whittington, near Lichfield, smiled as she “put the boot into” Mr Baynham after he was knocked to the ground by another teenager, Joel Alexander. She was convicted of manslaughter, along with Alexander, 20, of Thornton Heath, south east London.
