A gang of three who punched, kicked and stamped a disabled man to
death in what a judge called a sadistic attack were sentenced to life
in prison yesterday.
Brent Martin, 23, was chased around the housing estate where he lived
in August last year by the three after they placed a =A35 bet on who
could knock him out first.
Mr Martin, from Sunderland, who suffered from learning difficulties,
had just been released from a psychiatric hospital.
