Two guilty, one cleared of manslaughter after teenager killed while trying to stop bike theft Steven Thompson died from head injuries sustained in attack outside nightclub in South Shields cycling
Two men have pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of a teenager who was killed as he tried to prevent the theft of a bike outside a nightclub, with a third man being acquitted by a jury on the same charge.
“The initial disturbance began in relation to a bike belonging to a young lad,” he said. “One of the others associated with this defendant, Wildgoose, was taking that bike away. “Within a few seconds Steven Thompson appears to bump inadvertently into Dylan Ford, this defendant's stepson, which caused Mr Thompson to put his arm out to either push him away or keep him away,” the prosecutor said, adding that “whatever it was it appears to have been a red rag” to Hall.
He continued: “The issue may simply be whether this defendant was part of what happened. It doesn't matter whether he delivered the fatal blow. The prosecution say he appears to have been involved, doesn't he? He appears to have not tried to bring the assault to an end – quite the opposite. “You are not to contact any prosecution witnesses nor Leon Wildgoose, you are not to enter South Shields town centre and are not to enter any on-license premises.
