AN OVERWEIGHT man battered his neighbour to death because he would not stop laughing at his man-boobs.

Gary Brown, 38, was jailed for life after becoming enraged about constant taunting of his 'moobs'.

Chelmsford Crown Court heard he killed Roger Berwick by battering him with a chair leg because the 66-year-old former barrister would not stop laughing at his man-boobs.

Mr Brown was found guilty of murder and jailed for life.

He told the court a scuffle began after Mr Berwick mocked him.

The victim suffered a serious head injury, 25 fractures to his ribs, a broken breast bone, broken jaw, broken arm and broken finger.

Detective Chief Inspector Godfrey O'Toole, from the Kent and Essex serious crime directorate said: “Roger Berwick was a frail and vulnerable man. In January this year he died as a result of the terrible injuries inflicted upon him during a sustained and brutal attack by the defendant, Gary Brown.”
