21st December 2007, 15-year-old Andrew Smith, left school and met up with friend, 18-year-old Jason Bolton, for a night of fun, that would involve causing trouble and violence.
The pair first targeted a man who managed to fight them off but not long after this they spotted 28-year-old Asaf Mahmood Ahmed as he walked to a local shop in Bolton.
It is believed the pair chased him behind a local Labour club and as he tried to take refuge through the fire door, knocked him to the ground where he was punched, kicked and stamped on.
Mr Ahmed, tried to use his asthma inhaler but it was kicked from his hands before the pair ran off.
But moments later they returned to the scene and Bolton attacked him again before Mr Ahmed died from an acute asthma attack triggered off by the violence.
