Baggio 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) Two named in student murder hunt Family's appeal Police hunting the killers of black teenager Anthony Walker have named two people they want to trace. One of the men is 19-year-old Michael Barton, the brother of Manchester City footballer Joey Barton. Michael Barton and Paul Taylor, both aged 19 and from Huyton, in Merseyside, may have left the UK, detectives said. Mr Walker, 18, was attacked with an axe by a gang of up to four white men in Huyton on Friday in what police said was a racially motivated incident. A 17-year-old was still being questioned on Monday. A man, aged 18, arrested on Sunday, has been released on bail. 'Will not rest' Det Ch Supt Peter Currie, of Merseyside Police, said the attack was "despicable and abhorrent". He said he was very pleased with the public response, with the force having received more than 50 calls about the murder. Mr Currie added: "I would urge anyone else who has information but hasn't yet made that call, please pick up the phone and tell us what you know. "I would like to reassure the community that we will not rest until those responsible for taking Anthony Walker's life are brought before the courts." Joey Barton is a footballer for Manchester City Mr Walker was beaten up weeks earlier, but his family did not report it as he was with a white friend at the time and they did not consider it racially motivated, Merseyside Police said. Comparisons between the attack and the murder of Stephen Lawrence were dismissed Local MP Edward O'Hara, the Labour MP for Knowsley South, said there were important differences between Mr Walker's killing and the murder of Mr Lawrence in Eltham, south-east London in 1993. He said: "There is a certain surface comparison but this act was random, exceptional and representative of absolutely nothing." Mr O'Hara said it was a racist attack but "entirely untypical of the community in which it happened". 'Talk to them' Mr Walker's mother Gee has said her son was killed "purely because of the colour of his skin". The dead man's sister Dominique, 20, appealed for people to help catch the gang who attacked her brother in McGoldrick Park on Friday night. "If anybody knows anything, they have got to talk to the police," she said. "Talk to them because we need the information. I need to find out who did this to my brother." Mr Walker had spent the evening with his white girlfriend before the attack. Floral tributes have been left at the scene of the attack As they waited for a bus outside the Huyton Park pub with his 17-year-old cousin they were subjected to a "torrent of racial abuse" by a man in his 20s wearing a hooded top. They did not retaliate and left to find another bus stop, but were followed and, as they walked through a park, were attacked by a gang of up to four men. Mr Walker's girlfriend and cousin ran to get help. When they returned Anthony was slumped on the ground with massive head injuries. An axe was found embedded in his skull. A book of condolence was due to be opened at Mr Walker's local church, the Grace Family Church, in Aigburth, on Tuesday.

manc-mag 1 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 He was a black lad, not 'coloured'. (Weren't you black once?? I'm sure I remember you saying you were??? ) As for the Barton business, innocent until proven otherwise. But most importantly, RIP Anthony. Very very sad business.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Just had the bizzys at the door asking if i was around at 5:15 tonight, apparently some 86 year old lady who lives across the road had her bag snatched at her door, but she didn't give up without a fight and was pushed over a wall in the process. Smack heads, should chop their fucking hands off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil K 0 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) It was announced on BBC24 lteatime last night that one of the suspects arrested for the racist axe murder of Anthony Walker was the brother of seriously psychopathic thug Joey Barton. Considering that Barton has a record for things like putting out a cigar in a trainees EYE, I think we can safely say that the entire family are badly in need of an army of psychiatrists ? As are Man City for repeatedly giving Barton chance after chance. Whereby he RE-OFFENDS chance after chance. Seems his brother wanted to go one further.....

Shearergol 0 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Surely it's an "alleged racist attack" until it actually goes to trial? Whatever the motive though, it's very very sad news. RIP Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, as in that case you should wait until the facts of the case emerge before trying to start an argument against a non-existent group in society. I can't imagine any right-minded individual who would want anything other than heaviest sentences being given to the perpetrators of a crime like this. I would imagine the only people who would have a problem with that would be the jack boot rather than sandal wearing variety.
