The distraught brother of a frail man who died after a savage and humiliating attack has told of the heart-wrenching decision he had to make for his life support to be turned off. Peter Cox was told his brother Paul Cox's brain was "dead and done" while he was in intensive care at Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, for eight days after he was so badly beaten by Declan O'Donnell.
Paul Cox, 63, was filmed as he was repeatedly kicked in the face and stamped on by O'Donnell. The judge described his video commentary, which sickened viewers on a live-stream, as the "glorification" of his actions. O'Donnell pulled Paul Cox's trousers down, exposing his buttocks, and threatened to rape him.
He stamped on Paul Cox's genitalia. The only reason he stopped the attack was because police arrived.
