'We couldn't hug or help our son as he lay dying in front of us in a train station'
A man has been jailed for more than 21 years for the murder of a 24-year-old with a horshoe during an argument on a train.
Mr Parker said he was "unable to comfort his son or hug him" because of the crime scene unveiling in front of him when he arrived at the station. He described how his son was like a brother to him and that Craig had "not only lost his brother but also his closest friend". The father told the court how Tom had recently been promoted to deputy greenkeeper at a golf green.
