John Hackett Wiki – John Hackett Biography
The first image has been released of a man allegedly beaten to death by a gang of schoolchildren lining up for his dog. The dog walker, identified by family members as 36-year-old John Hackett, was said to have been “strangled” to the ground and then repeatedly punched and kicked by the group in a park in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
The children are alleged to have attacked Mr Hackett after a fight after he allegedly refused to pick up the mess left behind by his dog, or after a stick he had thrown at his pet struck one of the kids. It comes as two 15-year-old boys and a 15-year-old girl have been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of murder.
A neighbor told MailOnline that two girls allegedly yelled at Mr Hackett before “it all started” at Snow Hill Recreation Ground on Tuesday night. Locals claimed that a disgusting video of the brutal attack was posted on social media but has since been deleted. A bar worker called the images “disgusting” and added: “The poor guy didn’t deserve that.”
