The heartbroken family of a Sikh leader who was left for dead after being attacked in the Northern Quarter said that the assault has 'left an ever bleeding wound' on their hearts. Avtar Singh, 62, suffered life-changing brain injuries after being knocked out by stranger Claudio Campos, in Tib Street, on June 23.
Campos, 28, was jailed for three years at Manchester Crown Court yesterday (Thursday October 6) after pleading guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm upon Mr Singh. During the sentencing hearing, members of Mr Singh's family read moving victim impact statements to the court.
His wife Navinder said that she recently had to spend their 37th wedding anniversary visiting Mr Singh in hospital, where he has remained for the past three-and-a-half months. "Each day since that fateful night, I have cried 1,000 tears for the husband and father I no longer recognise," she said.
