Shane Boxall’s family expresses deep sorrow as twins receive prison sentences for his manslaughter, leaving loved ones devastated.
Hull: One of Shane Boxall’s daughters opened up about the heartache their family is facing. She said her world “just stopped spinning” after losing him, and the pain is just unbearable.
The brutal way he was killed has left a mark on everyone who loved him, including his nine grandkids. It’s just heartbreaking.
The twins, Kailum and Kieran Nightingale, were involved in the incident on April 25. They denied murder but were found guilty of manslaughter after a trial. Kailum got 10 years for throwing the fatal punch, while Kieran received nine years.
Laurie Sutcliffe, Shane’s eldest child, spoke in court about how she always looked out for her dad. She mentioned that the twins were warned about his health condition but still chose to attack him. It’s just sickening to think about.
She expressed her disgust that the last voices her dad heard were those of the twins who invaded his space. “My dad was too young to die,” she said, and it’s true. No one should have to go through that.
Laurie shared how they watched Shane suffer for days, holding onto false hope when he seemed to twitch. Sadly, it was just a sign of his brain malfunctioning, and they had to turn off his life support.
She couldn’t believe that Kailum was smiling in pictures, looking proud of what he did. It’s just so wrong. “My dad’s death has affected everyone,” she said, and it really has.
Laurie feels a deep sense of loss, saying it hurts so much knowing she’ll never see him again. “Never in a million years did I think his life would be stolen from us,” she added. It’s a tough pill to swallow.
She hopes the twins realize what they took from her family. “He was irreplaceable,” she said, and that’s the truth. No one deserves to be taken away like that.
Shane didn’t deserve to be scared or in pain, and it’s heartbreaking to think the last faces he saw were those of his attackers.
“You can’t take our memories,” Laurie said. “You took a loving man from his kids.” It’s just so unfair.
They couldn’t even hold his funeral for over three months. Laurie told the twins, “I will never forgive you for what you’ve done.” It’s a sentiment that many can understand.
During the trial, it was revealed that the twins forced their way into Shane’s home, demanding money. They didn’t care about his condition, and that’s just cruel.
Witnesses described how they were aggressive, shouting threats. It’s terrifying to think about what Shane went through that day.
In the end, Shane was taken to the hospital but sadly passed away due to the injuries he sustained. It’s a tragic story that has left a family shattered.
