Three men and a teenager murdered a "gentle and peaceful" student at a New Year's Eve party by viciously beating him unconscious and then throwing his body over a balcony.
William 'Billy' Henham's attackers, who were jailed for life today, callously stripped him naked and doused him in bleach in a bid to "cover their tracks" by destroying any forensic evidence.
The court was told that just a few hours before his brutal death, the 24-year-old had been seen "singing, dancing and smiling" in a Brighton nightclub.
