A man who hit a golf greenkeeper in the head with a horseshoe after arguing over loud music from a boombox speaker on a train has been found guilty of murder.
Kirkpatrick Virgo hit Thomas Parker, 24, with the item after the pair had become involved in an 'altercation' on the train. The 42-year-old, from Slough, admitted manslaughter and carrying an offensive weapon, but denied murder.
The jury returned a guilty verdict on Wednesday (March 29) after deliberating for three hours and 49 minutes. The row began 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 last July 30.
