The family of murder victim Gary Rae have issued a statement now that the trial at Hove has come to an end.

The family said: 'On the 29th of May of last year Gary was set upon and brutally murdered / killed by a gang of teenage thugs. This trial has been a very difficult and emotional time for our family to sit through, how Gary's life was taken from us in a calculated vicious unprovoked and cowardly attack."

"We wish to thank Sussex Police and CPS for the tremendous support that they have given to us in the leading months and during the trial.
