Jez was a gangster, a drug dealer and murderer who had killed Tony Horrocks and supplied cocaine to Leanne Battersby, who quickly became a drug addict. Steve McDonald unsuccessfully turned to him for a job, and later testified against Jez in the Tony Horrocks murder trial. Despite Steve's testimony,
A bully who did not like people standing up to him, Jez had Steve trapped in an underground carpark and beaten by a gang of thugs. Steve's father Jim took revenge by attacking Jez, who died in hospital, on top of Steve, of his injuries. Jim McDonald surrendered to the police and was later found guilty of manslaughter, for which he was sentenced to eight years in prison.
