12 years for Stuart's killer

A TEENAGER who killed a gay barman in a street attack was today jailed for 12 years.

Ryan Esquierdo, 19, choked Stuart Walker to death and set fire to his body on an industrial estate in Cumnock, East Ayrshire, last October.

At the High Court in Glasgow today, Esquierdo, who was abused as a child, was jailed for 12 years for the culpable homicide.
