Murder in Golden Cross
 

Apparently on friday night someone was murdered in the golden cross,anyone know anything about this?

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

I heard about this earlier and wondered why nothing had been mentioned so thought it wasn't true, 2 stories going about 1 says he's dead and the other is that the lad is in a coma

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

From what i have heard, he got set about by some lad's,who stamped all over his head,and that he died on the way to hospital.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Yeah same here, got told a first name and a possible address but I'm not going to post it cause its not right too

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

God thats awful!! I know people that drink in there!! not safe to leave your front door any more, and even your front door aint safe........

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Have had some really good nights in there, it's too scary to contemplate!!!!!!

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

its a frightening world we live in now!

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

There hasn't been anything on the radio, and there was no police activity outside on Saturday Morning, if there as been a murder the crime scene is usually sealed off for at least 24 hours, but I may be wrong.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

I heard it again from another source this morning, got told who did it as well but he is believed to have gone on the run now

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

what ever happened to a good old fisty cuffs ???

its not fighting nowadays with people stampin on heads etc ....just aint right

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

According to tonights telegraph he is in hospital with a fractured skull

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

According to telegraph today, the man was taken to BRI, then transferred to Hope hospital for a operation on a fractured scull.
Now he is back at BRI and 3 men have been arrested for it.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Poor sod hope he pulls through. There is no need for that kind of violence on the streets wether drink induced or not!!!!!

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Are they well known?

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Well I know of one of them, according to the paper they have arrested 3 people, 2 men and a woman so it looks like the info I had of him going on the run wasn't right
PS - I wont post the name, its not right too

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

i got told they stamped on his head but before that he was thrown out of a window aswell

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Not a problem K.S.H I was just wondering if it was the usual suspects.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

It seems another light has been shed on this matter.The accused was apparently bullied at a young age off the victim.Apparently he wasn't thrown through a window, but one of the glass partitions in the Cross.And the stamping bit was brought around by him putting his foot across the top of the victims chest while saying "Thats for when you beat me up when I was twelve".Although it doesn't make whats happened right,it does like I said 'Put another light' on the incident.I wasn't a witness but have got the account through my line of work as a taxi driver based in Ossy,off customers who said they were in the pub that night.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Regardless of what happened in the past this is VERY WRONG, and came close to ending someones life. What really happened will be open to conjecture as with all stories that are retold bits change ever so slightly at each retelling. Even a witness might have a different view on what happened to another and so forth and so forth. Yes it is news in the local area but might be best to wait until the police bring it to court to get all the facts. When roumors circulate there is a chance even a remote one of an unfair trial.

What goes around comes around

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

That was my thoughts as well Neil.It was wrong what he did,but I can't think of a better word 'understandable'.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

I suspect that the background to this incident involved the consumption of alcohol by at least one of the parties.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

So stop picking on me.:D

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

sounds about right if they were all in a pub??

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

If this was just a revenge beating for a kiddy scrap when the lads were 12 year old I will agree with you Spug, after all kids will be kids.

If this lad was bullied all through his childhood by the lad he leathered though, then I can understand it. I've never been bullied myself (only very weak attempts by Neil :D) but I have seen it's effects on other people that are still very scarred well into their adulthood. It's not something they are easily able to forgive or forget!

As you said though Spug, it's all speculation at the moment.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

People who live out of Ossy believe our little town to be really rough and to be avoided, this suprised me although I always feel uncomfortable In a couple of our hostileries, but yes the general feeling is that Ossie is full of travellers and is a rough town, and incidents like this one just adds fuel.

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable in any of the pubs?

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

I've lived away from Ossy for the last twenty years, and have been in some real dives, especially when I lived in London and Glasgow. I have never seen any trouble, or felt the least bit worried, whilst out in the pubs in Ossy.

Like anywhere else in the world, I've found if you go looking for trouble, trouble will come looking for you.

Good to see, according to the Telegraph, the 'murdered' lad is back home with his parents.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

They only get rough when we walk in eh G??? ;) :p ;)

Re: Murder in Golden Cross

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

I've been going around canvasing tonight and it's obviously on people's minds a lot. Even elderly people who wouldn't go into the Golden Cross were mentioning it.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Not the best thing to be on peoples minds with an election coming up.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

Was in there tonight.

Only five other people in, so it looks like the incident murdered their takings.

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

It was very quiet on sunday night to......7pm and there was only three people in!

Re: Murder in Golden Cross
 

The cross has always been a great night out when I've been there, with no trouble at all.

I've heard rumours about it though, mainly when I was a kid.

Oh well, so long as the kids ok now.
