Aston Villa fan murder: Killer will appeal, father reveals
“Lee even had a price on his head on internet sites at one point.”
“Lee was in the final year of his training to become a plumber and I thought I had our lives were settled.
“He is a young man and has been involved in a few scraps, which he has held his hands up to.
“He is no football thug, he used to have a season ticket with us at the Villa. He had not been drinking or taking drugs, he is not from a broken home and was not looking for trouble.
“We have never spoken out until now out of respect for the grieving family.”
