Killer who battered greenkeeper to death with a horseshoe after an argument over loud music on a train is jailed for 21 years
A man who killed a golf greenkeeper by hitting him on the head with a horseshoe while on a train has been jailed for 21 years.
Kirkpatrick Virgo, 42, was jailed at Reading Crown Court for murdering Thomas Parker, 24, after the pair argued over loud music coming from a boombox speaker.
The 42-year-old, from Slough, previously admitted manslaughter and carrying an offensive weapon, but denied murder.
The jury returned a guilty verdict after deliberating for three hours and 49 minutes.
The row started when Mr Parker’s brother Craig Parker, 27, told one of Virgo’s friends to turn the music down on the train at about 11pm on July 30 last year.
