A 'loud scream' was heard in court after a man was found guilty of murdering Everton fan Billy Livesley.
The 21-year-old , father-to-be, died after David Connors, 26, hit him over the head with a crowbar in a car park.
According to the Manchester Evening News , David Connors was found guilty of the brutal murder on Monday following a three-week trial.
Peter Connors, 32, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter and wept as he was led away from his brother in the dock.
David Connors is due to be sentenced for his crime on Monday, July 22 and is expected to face a lengthy prison sentence.
Here is everything you need to know about the murder of Billy Livesley, the investigation which followed and the trial that convicted David Connors.
The murder
During the trial, the jury heard that Mr Livesley was attacked and hit on the head with a crowbar by David Connors in a car park off Bickershaw Lane in Abram, Wigan , on December 28, last year.
Peter Connors and his brother David were reportedly in a Ford Transit van when prosecutors alleged that Peter Connors spotted Mr Livesley in a 'chance encounter'.
Peter Connors said it was the man who Mr Livesley was with that he spotted, not Mr Livesley.
The Crown alleged that there was bad blood between Peter Connors and Mr Livesley.
But Peter Connors said the issue he had with Mr Livesley was far in the past, and that it wasn't linked to the attack on him.
The prosecution claimed that Peter Connors said 'he's dead, he's dead' towards Mr Livesley, and ordered that the van be turned around and that they head to a car park where he was meeting another man, John 'Leggy' Pownall.
But Peter Connors said that his anger was directed towards Mr Pownall, not Mr Livesley.
He denied the comment was made towards Mr Livesley, and his lawyer said it was in any event not 'a serious statement of what was about to happen'.
He told the court that he was angry with Mr Pownall, because he claimed he was owed £12,000 by Mr Pownall for cocaine and ketamine.
Jurors heard Mr Livesley had arranged to meet 'Leggy' there to hand over £80 he owed him.
Asked how he felt when he saw Mr Pownall's car, Peter Connors told the court: "I expected to shout at Leggy and get my money back and that was it. I was shouting and screaming at Leggy, Billy was stood next to him.
"I was shouting 'where the f*** is my money'."
Peter Connors said that after he got out of the van, Mr Livesley said ‘what,’ and he replied ‘what, you stupid little c***’.
Jurors heard that Peter Connors went over to Mr Pownall's car, and was told that he would ‘sort it’, referring to the alleged debt.
He said he hadn't realised his brother David Connors had emerged from the van.
David Connors claimed he feared his brother was under attack from Mr Livesley.
After emerging from the van, Mr Livesley was struck to the head by David Connors with a crowbar that had been in the van.
The blow caused fatal injures. Mr Livesley was rushed to hospital but died the following day.
At the trial, David Connors claimed he was acting in self defence.
On the run
The Connors brothers both fled Wigan for a time, before returning to the caravan parks where they lived.
A cousin of Peter and David Connors, Christopher Price, was also in the van that night.
He was initially arrested on suspicion of murder, but was later released.
Price, 26, then spoke to interviewing officers and gave a statement to police, claiming he had heard Peter Connors say 'he's dead' in the van.
The trial
Christopher Price agreed to be a prosecution witness, but failed to respond to a witness summons and had to be arrested and remanded in custody to give evidence.
At trial he replied 'I don't know' to most questions and the judge allowed prosecutors to treat him as a 'hostile witness'.
As the jury continued to consider their verdicts, Price was jailed for six weeks after admitting being in contempt of court.
Price's brother Jimmy Price also faces jail after admitting perverting the course of justice.
He was involved in moving the Ford Transit van which he, Peter and David Connors and Christopher Price had been in on the night Mr Livesley was attacked.
At the conclusion of the three week trial and Manchester Crown Court, David Connors was found guilty of murder and his brother was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter.
A loud scream could be heard when the verdict was delivered and members of the jury were also visibly emotional.
Sentencing will take place on Monday, July 22.
Tributes to the die-hard Everton fan
Shortly after his murder, Billy's step-mum Jamie told the ECHO : "He has always been a massive Everton fan and he was such a kind-hearted boy. He would give you his last breath and his last penny.
"I just want everyone to know who he was and I want everyone to celebrate the lovely person he was.
"He's supported Everton since he was a kid. He loved going to the games at home, His dad is an Everton fan and he has two brothers that are Evertonians too."
Jamie told the ECHO Billy was looking forward to becoming a father this year, and that the family are trying to "stay strong" for his partner - who was only three months pregnant when he died.
Hundreds of well-wishers have since visited the scene of the alleged attack to pay their respects and lay flowers in memory of Billy, who would have turned 22 in January.
Supporters at Goodison held a minutes silence was held for Billy who was described by his step-mum as an "incredibly popular boy".
