Racist axe murder Jailed for life
Racist Axe Murderers Jailed for Life
Minimum prison sentences of 23 and 17 years handed down
Caged: Paul Taylor and Michael Barton
Two racist thugs who murdered black teenager Anthony Walker have been jailed for life for what the trial judge described a "poisonous'' attack.
Paul Taylor, 20, who smashed an ice axe into 18-year-old Anthony's head after ambushing him in a park in Huyton, Merseyside, in July, is to spend at least 23 years and eight months in jail.
His cousin Michael Barton, 17, brother of Premiership footballer Joey Barton, was told he would serve at least 17 years and eight months for the murder.
Victim: Anthony Walker
Sentencing the pair at Liverpool Crown Court, Mr Justice Leveson told Taylor and Barton: "This was a racist attack of a type poisonous to any civilised society."
Passing sentence on Barton, the judge said: "You crept into the park with evil on your mind and then affected your ambush.''
Barton simply nodded to members of his family as he was led from the dock. Taylor showed no reaction as he was taken down.
The Walker family remained silent while sentence was passed.
Mr Justice Leveson
Taylor admitted murder on November 15. Barton was convicted of Anthony's murder by a jury on Wednesday.
Anthony was waiting at a bus stop with his cousin and girlfriend when Barton began hurling racist abuse on July 29. The devout Christian did not retaliate but simply walked on to wait elsewhere.
As they cut across a park, they were ambushed by Barton and Taylor, who had driven ahead to wait for them. Anthony's cousin and girlfriend escaped but he was attacked by Barton, who struggled to get the better of the powerfully built basketball player.
When it became clear that Anthony was winning the fight, Barton shouted "Get him off me!" and Taylor struck him from behind with the axe, which smashed his skull and embedded in his brain. Anthony died five hours
