Rachel Burke, an eighteen-year-old girl from Three Oaks, is one of three teenagers on trial for the murder of Ian Baynham.

Baynham died last September after being attacked in Trafalgar Square. The openly gay man was punched to the ground where Burke and another girl kicked and stamped on him. The Old Bailey jury was told that it was "like a scene from Clockwork Orange".

Burke, and co-defendants Joel Alexander and Ruby Thomas all deny manslaughter.
