The dad of a talented skateboarded who was shot dead in his home has spoken out about the night of his son's murder.
Michael Rainsford, 20, known by his friends and family as Mikey, was shot in the back by a gunman who hid in the shadows of his victim’s back garden on April 7, 2020. Almost three years on from his murder, Mikey's dad - Michael Snr - has spoken to the ECHO about what happened the night his son died.
He said: "It was just a normal night watching the tele. Michael came in and asked me to take him to his girlfriend's which he often did. I say often, it was most nights he would be going to stay there and then come back.
