wasnt the guy who killed somone and ALLEGEDLY rammed a christmas tree up their arse in huncoat outside the flats a long time ago called O,Rourke and had a half brother called glynn ?
btw i aint joking ime pretty sure a few other members will remember it
i think the guy is now out of jail actualy as i was speaking to his step dad teh other month and i think he said he was now living in morcambe with his brother glynn , i forget the mothers name but i think she is now deceased
i may have the O,Rourke part wrong but it sounded very similar , maybe somone else can recal the surname
edit:
nope i was correct :

Huncoat pair Stuart James O’Rourke, 21, of Woodside Avenue, and Allan Gowers, 44, of Seedall Grove, were sentenced in October 1990 for the "brutal and senseless murder of a frail, defenceless man".
In an attack that shocked Hyndburn, 58-year-old Mr Booth was viciously battered by the two thugs as he walked home at Christmas time. As he lay dying the pair abused him with a Christmas tree to make it look like a homosexual killing.
