Michael's grieving family read out a statement in court which said his mother had arrived at the scene when paramedics were performing CPR on the teen
A heartbroken mother whose 18-year-old son was murdered wakes up screaming in the middle of the night from nightmares of seeing his lifeless body on the floor, the MEN reports. Michael Toohey, who was about to become a dad for the first time was killed inside an internet cafe after he was beaten to death on April 16 last year, a court heard.
Mr Toohey had taken a bus to London Road and arrived at around 5:30pm where he saw some friends and stopped to talk to them, the court heard. However, he didn't realise he was being watched by a 14-year-old boy who cannot be named due to his age. Judge Aubrey said he was satisfied on the evidence that Mr Toohey had been repeatedly stamped on and kicked to the head. In a victim impact statement read out in court, Michael’s family spoke of how his devastated mum was pleading with paramedics to save her son's life as he lay lifeless on the floor.
"He had started to turn his life around, moved into a new home with his partner and working with his brother in-law. Michael was excited and making future plans for the arrival of his baby, wanting to leave the past behind him and focus on his future goals.
