It will be ten years at least before Marshall is even considered for parole. But even the thought of him one day being released horrifies the family. A typical jury consisted of local men of good repute. Their task was to establish the course of events by hearing witnesses, assessing any evidence, and then naming a suspect. The indictments were summarised by the coroner’s scribe.”

He was a very genuine and caring person who always spread joy around him. He was extremely talented and equal to any youngster I have ever looked after. DANIEL’S family – Rosie, her husband Jeff, winner of this year’s Community Pride parent of the year award, and daughters Nicola, 37, and Becca, 32 – say they will never be able to forgive John Paul Marshall for what he did to their son. Oxford students were all male and typically aged between fourteen and twenty-one, the peak for violence and risk-taking. These were young men freed from tight controls of family, parish or guild, and thrust into an environment full of weapons, with ample access to alehouses and sex workers.”Rosie doesn’t believe that for a moment. “He said he had had some heroin in the early hours, and by 11am he was ‘rattling’ [going cold turkey],” she says. “He wouldn’t have been.” He fully entered into the life of the Art & Design department at College and enjoyed a trip to Barcelona with us. We do not have any evidence to show juries wilfully lied, but many inquests will have been a 'best guess' based on available information,” said Cambridge historian and co-researcher Dr Stephanie Brown.

Mr McNally's sister Alexandra described the killers as "violent and evil" men and said what they had done to her brother was "unforgiveable". Judge Stubbs said Mr McNally had been "particularly vulnerable" because of the amount of alcohol he had drunk, something which the murderers knew. Marshall was jailed for life and told he would serve at least 18 years. But if Rosie and Becca hoped that the end of the trial would bring closure, they were mistaken. Interactions with sex workers could end tragically when students became violent. One unknown scholar got away with murdering Margery de Hereford in the parish of St. Aldate in 1299 when he fled after stabbing her to death instead of paying what he owed for intercourse. When I first met him he was quite shy and timid but he grew in to a man. He was the last person you would ever be offended by.London’s remaining rolls cover nine of the years between 1300 and 1340. York’s date to between 1345 and 1385. Seeing no way out to safety most of the Jews chose to commit suicide in the keep. The alternatives were to renounce their faith and surrender to forced baptism or death at the hands of the mob. They were led by the wealthy Jew Josce and Rabbi Yomtob, a noted scholar, who had come to York from Joigny in France. After killing their wives and children they set fire to the wooden keep and killed themselves.
