Special meeting of Liverpool’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender network following verdicts into Michael Causer’s death

It is expected members of Michael’s family will attend the meeting.

Michael died eight days after he was attacked at a house in Biglands Drive, Huyton. Paramedics found him dying in Tarbock Road at around 11am.

It was alleged Gavin Alker had punched, kicked and thrown a hardback book at Mr Causer in a homophobic attack, following a drinking session at a house in Biglands Drive, Huyton.

But Alker denied making homophobic comments and insisted he had only hit Mr Causer in self-defence.

James O'Connor, 19, also of Runcorn, who admitted murder without homophobic intent, is yet to sentenced alongside his friend Michael Binsteed, 18, who admitted perverting the course of justice.
