Two men beat neighbour to death with a hammer in row over rubbish bins A man was beaten to death with a hammer during a savage attack by two of his neighbours in a row over rubbish bins.
Jurors were told Mr Ingram and Carty became involved in a row before a fight between the three men ensued, in which the victim was headbutted and struck with the hammer.
The jury were told that on the afternoon of 22 June, there had been an exchange of words after Carty had left rubbish near Mr Ingram's flat.
A CCTV recording was played in which 68-year-old Mr Ingram later described Carty as an 'idiot' to another individual - stating he was going to contact the housing association responsible for the flats.
The prosecution said shortly before 11pm however, an 'angry' Mr Ingram went up to Carty’s flat with a hammer.
