Victims of crime groups yesterday reacted angrily to the payout, which is 50 times more than the family of a murder victim can expect to receive from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority.

Mr Murphy, of Seaforth, Merseyside, suffered brain damage in the accident which was said by doctors to have caused such severe behavioural problems that he was expelled from two schools in the two years after his recovery.

I think I will stop playing the National Lottery and just go trespass on someone roof, hope to fall through and hey presto I am on to a winner!
What can you say apart from
What a w*nker
Maybe the company should have counter sued for damage done to the fence, the floor and the roof. Little scrote deserves nothing but a slap and a trip to see mum and dad
