Michael Barton is the younger brother of former footballer Joey Barton. He grew up in Merseyside.
Michael is a murderer. His cousin was with him on the evening of Anothony Walker’s murder.
The two shouted racist abuse at Walker as he was waiting at the bus stop with his girlfriend Louis Thompson and his cousin Marcus Binns on July 29, 2005.
After the three walked on and ignored the yelling.
However, Barton and Taylor chose to follow and attack them in a nearby park. Thompson and Binns managed to escape the attack, but Walker was caught and was brutally killed.
