Life for trio of teen thugs who murdered the 'wrong man'
Three teen thugs who murdered 'the wrong man' after hijacking a dispute which had nothing to do with them were today handed life sentences.
Today the three young men who launched the sickening attack were handed life sentences for murder at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court. When they pulled up, Mr Shuttleworth ran off as he believed the three men in the Chevrolet Kalos on false plates were 'associates' of the man he had just punched.
The jurors heard the victim was 'someone with a long history of mental illness which included self-harming' - the day before his fatal attack he had suffered 'another mental health crisis' where he had been drinking cider and Jack Daniels, and had threatened to take his own life. "There's a hole in my life with him gone that can never be filled and our home is empty without him.... When I hear sounds coming from upstairs, my first thought is of Tom and thinking he's going to come down the stairs. It hurts every time."
Mrs Williamson went on that 'it really upset me' when she heard Dawber claim in his evidence that he had acted in self-defence, which she said 'just didn't ring true'."Given the chance, he would just have walked away but he was never given that chance," said Mrs Williamson, adding that her son had simply gone out to 'clear his head' as he had done on other occasions. The attackers had 'shown no remorse'.
David Spence KC, defending Dawber, told the sentencing hearing: "The weight of the evidence appears to be that Mr Williamson, in order justifiably to protect himself from an intended robbery, drew the knife and then it was turned upon him."
