On Monday (December 18) following a week of hearing evidence and after less than an hour of deliberations, a jury of six men and six women returned a unanimous verdict of guilty.

Preston Crown Court heard how drug dealer and addict, Khan, had known his vulnerable victim for around 19 years and had regularly taken drugs with him in Mr Read's flat.

The prosecution said that Khan had become angered over £700 worth of drugs that he claimed Mr Read had stolen from him and in a fit of rage, he attacked his "friend", inflicting more than 100 injuries to his whole body using a claw hammer and pair of scissors.

He then washed his hands of blood, gathered his belongings and left Mr Read to die alone on the floor of his flat.

It was also heard Mr Read had suffered injuries and fractures to his hands, consistent with self-defence wounds.

Det Supt Mark Haworth-Oates, of Lancashire Police, said: “This was a truly shocking murder committed against a vulnerable man in his own home.

“The level of violence used and the injuries sustained by David were some of the worst I have seen in my career. He had over 100 different injuries all over his body.

“Having made no effort to seek help for David, who he left dead or dying on the floor of his flat, Khan prioritised disposing of evidence and covering his tracks.

In a tribute, David’s family said: “David had a gentle nature and was known to those close to him as the gentle giant. Life will never be the same without David and he will be missed by everyone who knew him.”
