1999 - Jay Abatan, murdered in Brighton

In January 1999, Jay Abatan, a 42 year old old black accountant and father of 2, died after being attacked after leaving the Ocean Rooms nightclub with his brother after an argument over a mini cab. The pair were kicked and punched and Jay suffered severe brain injuries and was in a coma for five days before doctors decided there was no hope for him. Two men were charged with manslaughter but the charges later dropped.
