This footage shows the last movements of the 33-year-old before he was killed by Liam Bailey (19), Harry Maher (16) and Liam O'Brien (17) who were all jailed after a comprehensive investigation by detectives in our Major Incident Team.
DCI Liz Hopkinson said: "This was an extremely violent, callous and unprovoked attack that cost a man his life.
"Although we won't be able to bring Scott back I hope today's significant sentence provides a sense of justice and closure for his family and loved ones."
