A TERMINALLY ill Suffolk man was kicked to death in an alleyway by a 22-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy, it has been alleged.
Father-of-three John Vry, 55, of London Road South, Lowestoft was found with serious injuries in an alleyway off the same road on December 3 last year and died in hospital the following day, a court has heard.
Karim Khalil QC prosecuting said Mr Vry was suffering from cancer and had been given a life expectancy of three to six months in the summer of last year.
“By December last year he was plainly not a strong man,” said Mr Khalil.
