Cousins found guilty of murder after dad found 'chopped up' in suitcases in park

Aaron Evitt and his cousin Gerard McGlacken, now both face life sentences. Members of Mr Walsh's family wore purple jumpers in his memory as the verdicts were delivered.

Mr Walsh had gone for a drink with his friend Evitt and McGlacken. Following a row at McGlacken's flat in Collyhurst, Evitt hit Mr Walsh over the head with a hammer, on Friday, January 7.
