Five teenagers who beat a father to death after joking he looked like Ant or Dec have been locked up for the brutal attack. Danny Humble was walking home from a night out when he was punched to the ground, kicked and stamped on.
The 35-year-old had enjoyed his first night out with his partner after lockdown ended when the incident occurred in Cramlington, Northumberland. One of the five said Mr Humble looked like TV presenters Anthony McPartlin or Declan Donnelly but there was no immediate trouble, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
A witness remembered hearing Mr Humble laughing, saying, "Aye good one, lads", and one of the group saying, "Can I have your autograph? You’re my inspiration."
