SIX men were today behind bars for their role in a house brawl that led to tragedy.

Stevie Cameron, 22, died after suffering a blow to the head after a house party at Tintern Avenue, Milnsbridge, turned violent in February, 2009.

Harry Castledine, 23, of Willwood Avenue, Oakes, was at the party with his ex-girlfriend when they are believed to have argued.

Following this, Castledine was allegedly threatened by other partygoers so called his older brother, 31-year-old Benjamin Dollive, for help.

Dollive arrived at the house party in a taxi with seven other men, including Mr Cameron.

Bradford Crown Court heard yesterday how Dollive was responsible for leading the group when the violence flared.

Judge John Rose told him. “This is your fault. If you had not rounded up the troops then Mr Cameron would still be alive.

“You responded to that phone call, left that taxi, then attacked the house in an utterly terrifying attack.”

Dollive was also charged with intent to sell class A drugs after an undercover police operation in Huddersfield.

Judge Jonathan Rose referred toDollive’s “hard man reputation”.

He referred to his drug dealing as greedy, adding: “It was not to fund your habit. You do not have a habit, you are an habitual criminal.”

He was sentenced to six years in prison.

Castledine was told by the judge that if he had “been a man and accepted his relationship was over and not made the call to his big brother, then Mr Cameron would still be alive.”

He was sentenced to two years in prison. All the men pleaded guilty to violent disorder.

Dale Smith, 25, of Willwood Avenue was believed to be a good friend of Mr Cameron’s.

He allegedly smashed a window to get into the house and was sentenced to 18 months in prison on the same charge.

Dale McClean, 22, of Greenfield Avenue, Oakes and Mr Cameron’s cousin, Michael Sharpe, 22, of Longwood Road, Longwood, were all sentenced to 15 months in prison.

Andrew Lynch, 20, of Eldon Road, Marsh, is the younger cousin of Mr Cameron.

In a letter by his mother, Sharon Lynch, she described the pair as “the closest thing to brothers.”

He was sentenced to 15 months at a young offenders’ institution.

Richard Mosley, 29, was the only man not to receive a custodial sentence as he did not enter the house party.

He was ordered to 240 hours of community service.

Stevie’s mum sat in the packed public gallery and listened to the two hour sentence hearing.

Judge Rose added: “The real victim is Mrs Cameron. She has had to sit here and listen to the mitigation of each of you.

“However you feel about your punishment, it is nothing compared to the punishment she has to endure daily.”

No-one was charged in connection with Mr Cameron’s death.

In August, 2009, the Crown Prosecution Service and West Yorkshire Police said Stevie Cameron died as the result of someone else acting in self-defence.

The chief crown prosecutor for West Yorkshire, Neil Franklin, said there had been high-level talks to discuss the legal options, but the authorities have decided not to prosecute anyone for killing Stevie.

At the time Mr Franklin said: “The decision about whether there should be a prosecution in relation to Mr Cameron’s death has been considered at length within the CPS, and, among others, I consulted the principal legal advisor for the CPS, Alison Levitt QC.

“In reaching this decision, we have considered all the evidence and taken into account the CPS guidance on self-defence and the prevention of crime, which says that ‘a witness to violent crime with a continuing threat of violence may well be justified in using extreme force to remove a threat of further violence.’

“The CPS has decided that, in this case, the householder was acting in self-defence when confronted with a group of violent intruders who were assaulting his guests.”
