He could put his hand to anything and when Liam Miller was at training we knew we were going to have some fun because he was there.

One of the biggest regrets Daniel’s family have is that they never got to see his body after he had been killed. They were advised not to. That is why they have set up a Facebook campaign calling either for the return of the death penalty or for life to mean life. Becca even produced a YouTube video to promote the campaign. It will be ten years at least before Marshall is even considered for parole. But even the thought of him one day being released horrifies the family. The worst thing is when people say to you, ‘You have to move on’. You can’t. You’re always thinking, he would have been 35 now. Maybe he would have been married, perhaps he would have had kids…”Neither killer gave any reaction when the sentence was passed. Both had denied murder and Turpin had denied the charge of actual bodily harm but been convicted by a jury last week. Leaving the court after Marshall was found guilty of double murder, she turned, looked at her son’s killer and screamed: “Rot in hell!”

The fact that he was a drug addict himself, whose life had been ruined by heroin, was no excuse, Becca says. “There are other addicts out there, but they don’t all go around murdering people.” You’ve got the trial, and unpleasant as it is at least it is something to focus on,” she says. “Then you get the sentence, and at the time you’re satisfied with the sentence. As well as clashes between town and gown, many students belonged to regional fraternities called ‘nations’, an additional source of conflict within the student body,” said Eisner. She was forced to listen to her son being described as a drug dealer, and says she was made to feel like a second-class citizen because her son had been an addict. What’s more, the family suddenly found themselves on their own. As they prepared for the trial, they had had the support of a police family liaison officer. After the guilty verdict, Rosie says, he turned to her and said ‘That’s it; I’ve finished my job now.”Anti-Semitic feeling was running high throughout western Europe in the twelfth century, stoked by the Christian fervour of the Crusades, that directed aggression against Jews across England, France and Germany, as well as against Muslims in the Holy Land. England’s new king Richard I was about to set off on Crusade himself. Rioting had spread throughout England since prominent Jews, including Benedict of York, had been denied entry to King Richard I’s coronation banquet in 1189. Benedict was the wealthiest Jew of York and he was mortally wounded in the rioting at Westminster.
