Family of murdered student Billy Henham react to the sentencing in Hove
THE family of a student murdered at a New Year’s Eve party in Brighton in 2019 have paid tribute to their “intellectual and creative” son.
Reading a statement on the steps of Hove Crown Court, Ian Henham said the family was “so angry at what these men did and grateful for the justice they will receive”.
Billy was struck with a broken wooden stair spindle. His body, which had been dropped over balcony railings from a height of nearly 11ft, was discovered by police the following day.
