Never saw that. What happened? Did he throw him off the bridge? That's awful. As it was in 2004 he's probably out now!

He was on his way back home from the town on a saturday night pissed, this other bloke had apparently had an argument with his wife and went to the bridge contemplating suicide but like someone has already said he was being questioned a week earlier regarding someone being thrown off the DFDS ferry, so he was probably there looking to throw someone off the bridge from the start i think.

f***ing hell. That's grim. Poor lad.
 
Not committed in Sunderland, but I remember PC Keith Blakelock, who was murdered by a mob of about 50 people in the Broadwater Farm riots in the 80's, was reported at the time as being from Sunderland.

The ever-charming leader of Haringey Council back then, Bernie Grant, boasted about it, saying the police got what they deserved, "a bloody good hiding."

Winston Silcott was convicted of his murder but was released on appeal.

Which one's stand out to you?

Strange thread i know but this lad was in my year at school, and it was on my mind today for some reason.

John Chipp was a friend of some friends. I wasn't great mates with him or owt, but we'd play footy with the same group and mixed with the same crowds on nights out. Scary to think that plenty of us had walked home the same way loads of times.

He was missing for a while before what had happened came to light. Weldon told a friend who went to the police. A bunch of us were over in Prague when one of the lads got the news his body had been found. Coming up 16 year now. RIP John.
