Prosecutor James Mactaggart told the court the victim was in his 40s, while his attackers were all young men.

Mr Mactaggart said the assault lasted several minutes and first responders faced a "truly horrific" scene, having to mop up blood using towels.Michael Tudori, representing Mr Taylor, said he denied intending to kill Mr Eades.Mr Tudori said Mr Taylor "was there to touch him up and that was it".A second defence lawyer, Jonathan Davies, told the court the other prisoners were lying about the involvement of his client, Mr Penny.

Main question is. What was the person who died in there for. If he was a child abuser and was acting all tough about his crime. You not going to last long. Some prisoners have a tougher stand on them matters than the court system
