Scotland Yard is offering a £20,000 reward for information on the killers. Detective Constable Noel McHugh said: “Someone might see this video and remember that they witnessed this incident; you will see a female who is clearly shocked by what has happened and holds her hands up to her face.
“You may have been part of the group and did not realize how seriously Desmond was hurt and that he has now died. That may prey on your mind.
“You can contact us and help us get justice. Desmond was an inoffensive man, a big man and character, who was out having a drink. The CCTV shows that he was senselessly attacked, and he never stood a chance.”
If you can information about this, please contact British Police.
