Gary Newlove, 47,
was attacked when he confronted a gang of vandals in
August 2007, after he got fed up with youngsters damaging
his car. He was violently attacked, being kicked in the
head many times. He died in hospital two days
later.
Adam Swellings, 19, Stephen Sorton, 17, and Jordan
Cunliffe, 16, were convicted at Chester Crown Court in
January 2007.
Swellings, was only
released from custody on the day of the attack, with one
of his bail conditions being that he did not go to
Warrington.
Swellings, was sentenced to serve a minimum 17 years
in jail.
Sorton, was ordered to serve a minimum 15 years and
Cunliffe will stay in jail for a minimum of 12
years.
Jailing the teenagers,
Judge Andrew Smith said: "You were three of a gang who
attacked Garry Newlove only because he had the courage to
remonstrate with you.
"For you all drunken aggression was part of the night's
entertainment.
"It was a gang attack, each of you continued to behave
aggressively after you had finished with Garry Newlove."
