Man accused of murdering Iraq War veteran tells the jury: 'I just wanted to give him a black eye'

A MAN accused of murdering an Iraq War veteran he punched three times has denied he intended to cause him serious harm, telling a jury he 'just wanted to give him a black eye!

Gregory Twigg, 32, disagreed that he was 'fired up on drink and coke and raging' when he confronted medically-retired British Army veteran Lee Woodward, 39, in Trade Street, Stoke, on the night of June 24, 2022, leaving him brain damaged.

Twigg, who was jailed for eight years and three months in September 2022 after pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent for the attack on Mr Woodward, is now on trial accused of murder after the victim died from complications arising from his injuries on April 26, 2023.
