Overview

• Judge Kristina Montgomery KC handed Walpole a 15-year prison term with a two-year extended licence at Warwick Crown Court.
• A jury found him guilty of manslaughter in his 81-year-old grandfather’s death, two counts of club assault and breaching a restraining order, and cleared him of murder.
• Prosecutors said Walpole had been drinking throughout the day before demanding money from his grandfather and attacking him at home.
• Security footage captured the frail, dementia-diagnosed victim gesturing for help before the fatal attack and showed Walpole glassing a club member.
• Mr Brown’s family say they continue to live in fear of Walpole’s eventual release despite the custodial term.
