‘Very dangerous and confusing’: one inmate’s view on joint enterprise law

Alex Henry says he was jailed for associating with bad company' and, like many others, is hoping for reform to the law

Alex Henry was out shopping in west London when he ran to help friends who had got into a fight with four strangers. In the 47-second scuffle that ensued, Henry threw a punch and threw a mobile phone at the men and ran off. But one of Henry's friends had a knife concealed in a carrier bag, which he used to kill one man and wound another.

Cameron Ferguson confessed to the stabbing but more than a decade later Henry is one of three men in prison for the 2013 murder of Taqui Khezihi.
