Jack Edwards, 24, had his life support withdrawn after he was fatally attacked with a brick in a skate park.
Two teenagers have been sentenced over the murder of a 24-year-old whose skull was shattered after a brick was thrown at his head in a violent group attack.
The court heard Mr Edwards had taken a mixture of alcohol and drugs, having been released from prison on the day of the attack, and was acting “erratic” and “confrontational” and made “rude and sexual remarks” to two 14-year-old girls, which prompted the incident. A psychological report showed that Howitt suffered from autism and ADHD and the youth defendant also suffered from mild learning difficulties.
“Edwards posed no direct physical threat to any of you. His actions amounted to goading and posturing, but no more than that.The defendants were found guilty of murder by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court on June 27.
