The actions of a 22-year-old criminal who harassed and tormented a vulnerable man with a brain injury before stabbing him to death in his own home have been described by the victim's family as "nothing but evil".

Christopher Hall's daughter Rebecca told the Central Criminal Court today that the decision by defendant Owen Maughan to plead guilty to murdering her father does not change anything for her family, as it "does not undo or justify" what he did and will not bring her father back.
