And yeah, it just never crossed my mind that something like this could happen to him.

And it's just, I think what makes the story so awful is that Martin was someone that wouldn't have known how to get in a fight, wouldn't have ever wanted to, and wouldn't have known how to defend himself either.

And like Anthony said, his hands were in his pockets, was just...

Adds to the, you know, how vulnerable he was at the time of the assault and how unnecessary it was to use that kind of violence against him.

I really don't think so.

We were in the same housing estate previously.

O'Neill would have been a couple of years younger than Martin, so I don't think they would have known each other.

They wouldn't have been in the same circle, let's say.

Yeah.

Oh, absolutely horrendous.

When it happened, O'Neill fled the scene.

Twice.

Twice, yeah.

He came back around to check, I guess, maybe how bad the damage was and he fled again when he realised that Martin was still on the ground.

Yeah.

And so we never knew who the guy on the motorbike was for that initial period.

We did media appearances.

I was on Crime Call and Primetime.

We were looking for as much CCTV footage or ring doorbell footage, anything we could get from the public that night.

And the public were fantastic.
