Anthony Delano Walker was a Black British student of Jamaican descent who was murdered with an ice axe in 2005. He was murdered by Michael Barton (brother of footballer Joey Barton) and Barton's cousin Paul Taylor, in an unprovoked racist attack on the night of 29 July 2005 in Huyton, Merseyside. Barton and Taylor had a reputation for racially abusing others. Lord Leveson said that the cousins had perpetrated a "terrifying ambush" and a "racist attack of a type poisonous to any civilised society"
