The mum of a much-loved dad and grandad who died ten years after he was attacked on a Christmas Eve night out has spoken of her torment.
Ashley McGurk, then aged 32, had been drinking at a social club in north Manchester and was on his way back to spend Christmas with his family when he was set upon.
He was knocked to the floor and repeatedly punched and kicked before his attackers rifled through his pockets and left him unconscious in the street in what police believe was a violent robbery.
