Last June, a Sikh priest was left for dead in the middle of the road in a sickening assault. Avtar Singh, 62, suffered life-changing brain injuries after the attack on Tib Street.
Police issued CCTV of the incident in a bid to find the attacker, and after a successful public appeal, 28-year-old Claudio Campos was arrested and charged over the assault. Yesterday, Campos was sentenced to three years imprisonment at Manchester Crown Court.
In her sentencing remarks, Judge Hilary Manley acknowledged that 'no sentence I can pass can adequately reflect or compensate for the impact caused to Mr Singh and to his family'.
