Rick Dennis

Rick Dennis was a student at Cardiff University and a friend of Craig Sutherland.

While at a nightclub off St Mary Street in Cardiff, Craig demonstrated an alien device to Rick. When a youth looking for a fight crossed the beam, his aggression was amplified locally into Craig and Rick. Rick smashed a beer bottle on the nearest table and lashed out at the youth, whose friends quickly joined the fight. Within 23 seconds, all five were dead. The bodies had bruises, contusions and stab wounds.

The incident was investigated by Torchwood Three. His death was put down to raging hormones compounded by a badly understood alien device, and the case was closed. (PROSE: Slow Decay)
