The university student who posted shocking racist internet messages after footballer Fabrice Muamba collapsed with heart failure has been jailed today.
Liam Stacey,from Pontypridd, south Wales, admitted making the comments on Twitter and was sent to prison for 56 days.
His posts were forwarded to police by disgusted fellow users and the 21-year-old undergraduate could also be thrown off his biology degree course after his fellow students launched a campaign to have him kicked out.
His tweets – which started with ‘LOL [laugh out loud]. **** Muamba. He’s dead!!!’ – also provoked widespread revulsion and a furious reaction from several Premier League stars.
Sobbing and shaking as he was taken away in handcuffs this morning, Stacey was briefly hugged by friends and his parents.
