Two men were turned in by their younger brother decades after they ambushed a man that they thought was gay and bragged about “queer bashing” him. The victim died alone late at night on May 1, 1984, in a deserted London alley after being struck twice in the head with a heavy object.

“There is no evidence that Mr. Littler was homosexual,” the judge told the murderers at their recent sentencing. “But he was a lone man in an area you frequented to target homosexual men, and I have no doubt that he was targeted for that reason.”

Michael Stewart, 57, and Anthony Stewart, 60, were convicted by a jury in June of killing 45-year-old Anthony Littler in North London and sentenced on Friday, Sky News reports. They were aged 15 and 18 at the time of the killing.

Michael Stewart, the “lookout”, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, while his older brother Anthony, identified by prosecutors as delivering the fatal blows, earned 15 years. Littler was attacked as he walked home from a gathering of his beer appreciation club at a pub in the area.
