Leaving the court after Marshall was found guilty of double murder, she turned, looked at her son’s killer and screamed: “Rot in hell!” 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.” He was such a lovely boy, happy and full of fun. Our thoughts are very much with his family and friends at this dreadful time.” But why should the family leave? Becca says. “And anyway, wherever you are, it is going to follow you,” Rosie says.

Axes were commonplace in homes for cutting wood, and many men carried a staff.” Some 12% of London’s homicides were committed with a sword. Neither killer gave any reaction when the sentence was passed. Both had denied murder and Turpin had denied the charge of actual bodily harm but been convicted by a jury last week.

A Thursday night in 1298 saw an argument between students in an Oxford High Street tavern result in a mass street brawl with swords and battle-axes. The coroner recorded student John Burel had “a mortal wound on the crown of his head, six inches long and in depth reaching to the brain”.She was forced to listen to her son being described as a drug dealer, and says she was made to feel like a second-class citizen because her son had been an addict.
