Gay Hate Crime in Stoke-on-Trent

The dead body of Stuart Walker, a 27-year-old bar man, was found tied to a lamp-post in his hometown of Cumnock, Ayrshire in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Believed to have been the victim of a homophobic attack, Stauart was beaten and burned alive.

At a time when hate crime figures are rising; I speak with Greg MacNeillie, responsible for the reporting of hate crime at Stoke's LGBT Network, to try and understand fully the nature of such crime and it's effects in North Staffordshire.
