4 in the last 3 months? What the hell is going on there? I live just down the road in Leatherhead and thought that Epsom was a nice place.

A student lad at work recently got attacked outside a pub in Hindley near Wigan, 3 Lads attacked a couple waiting at a bus stop then attacked the lad outside the pub. Hes in intensive care but is stable.

Really shocked me when I heard, hes a great lad and wouldnt hurt a fly. I even played halo 2 on xbl with him. I'd glass the lads who did it, if i ever see them.

Detectives in Wigan are appealing for witnesses following two assaults in Hindley on Friday 10 March 2006.

The first incident happened shortly after 11.30pm at a bus stop on Atherton Road in Hindley. The 18 year old victim was waiting at a bus stop with his girlfriend when he was approached by four men.

They launched an unprovoked attack on him, punching and kicking him to the ground and causing swelling and bruising to his face and ribs. The man was taken to Wigan Royal Infirmary for treatment.

Three of the attackers were described as wearing blue tracksuits and one was wearing a white top. Some of them were wearing baseball caps and one had a beard.

A short time later, at around 11.50pm, police were called to Wenlock Street in Hidley following reports that a 19 year old man had been found unconscious on the street.

He suffered head and facial injuries and was taken to Wigan Royal Infirmary. He later suffered bleeding to the brain and was transferred to Hope Hospital for further treatment. He remains in a serious but stable condition

Animals, they will get whats coming to them.
 
After sleeping on the matter I am still shocked and saddened and am in a state of total disbelief of whats happened. All my work colleagues today immediately knew something was wrong when I walked in and we all toasted to him today... Although none of them knew him (because obviously im in Australia now) they agreed with me I should do something for him, and when I get home I plan on I dont know dedicating something to him! Any suggestions on what would be nice and thoughtful?

Did he have any strong interests or hobbies?

He kept to himself about stuff like that a fair bit but I know he was strong with his family and looked after them, so between that his work and his social life its hard to say. I personally think having something in the pub I worked at for him would be really nice, but I dont know how the owners would feel about that!

Syk3, where abouts do you live? I actually live in woodmansterne. And as for the news not only is it saddening but truley shocking, my faith in humanity is chipped away everyday!
 
I guess you could dedicate a bench in park or a plaque in a pub to him. I think the gesture will mean a lot to the people who knew him.

A park bench is a brilliant idea, especially considering where it happened was very close to the local park. When I get home which is unfortunately not for a few months at least I will do the research into it and a whip round at the pub... Normally like if it was an illness he died of I could do something to raise money for a charity relating to it, but I just dont know of any charities of 'Your family member or friend was beaten to death by a bunch of low life pricks'. *shrugs*
 
In Cheam / Sutton mate. I think a park bench or something is a nice idea. Did he go to the pub or anything? What interests..or what was he most involved in?

I met him through where I worked which was Epsom Wetherspoons, he was a regular there. If I was to tell the story it wouldnt seem entirely interesting, but when I first started working there I was appauling at my job. He was the only customer with any patience or anything nice to say to me. When it was quiet he would always come up to me and have a chat. On my breaks we would always talk, and basically this friendship started through work. I saw him pretty much every day for the last 14 months just before I left to come to Australia. He was in the pub everyday but not an alcoholic... on fridays and saturdays he would drink coronas, during the week j2o's. He would meet his family there (the wetherspoons in epsom is a good place to meet anyone) they would have a few drinks non-alcoholic or not, he would pay every time, and they would leave and do what they did in the evenings. He always put his family and friends infront of himself and looked out for everyone. He was the kind of person who knew everyone and whenever there was any trouble would be the first person to defend the victim, wether he liked them or not. He was very talkative but liked talking about others and rarely talked about his own social life. From what I understand he was a lawyer or involved in law, but wished to keep that under his hat, which is respectable. He was very proud of his family and talked about them a lot, and talked about his nights out. He talked about current and general affairs. When it came to talking about himself he was shy and not wanting to talk about it, he was more interested in talking about others... Which was typical of him, he was such a selfless and genuine guy,which is why I am soo shocked and upset by this, and don't even know what I could do for him... I know he would want something done for his uncle and cousin (his two closest family members) but I can't think of anything to do for them that has any reflection on joe!
 
Possibly talk to the manager of the local Wetherspoons? Maybe dedicate something to him, a meal..a drink.. a sign. anything. Still, id definately get the Bench.. something for friends and family to remember him by.
