A gang of vigilantes took to the streets to hunt down a killer 90 minutes after he'd murdered their friend. The men tracked Anthony George after he'd stabbed 25-year-old Tyrone Williamson to death in Bolton.
George, 42, had been with Mr Williamson at a house in the town earlier that day. He was thrown out of the property after being accused of stealing Mr Williamson's phone. A row then ensued between them in the street.
George, fuelled by vodka and cannabis, said 'watch what’s going to happen to them' before knifing Mr Williamson three times with severe force. Tyrone died in the hours following the fatal attack, at about 6.30pm, on Saturday, December 11, 2021.
