Patrick Byrne

Patrick Byrne was clubbed over the head in Robson Road, Norwood in the early evening of Saturday 11 March 1989.

He was Irish and had just come over from Tulla, County Clare in Ireland to look for work. He was a woodworker. He left Tulla in November 1988 after failing to find work locally. He had recently finished several interrupted spells of employment with Clare County Council and when he arrived in London, he worked on London building sites and sent money home to his wife on a regular basis.
