Kirkpatrick Virgo (left and right inset) hit Thomas Parker, 24, (right) with the item after the pair argued over loud music from a boombox speaker on a train. The 42-year-old man from Slough admitted murder and wielding an offensive weapon, but denied murder. After deliberating for three hours and 49 minutes, the jury delivered a guilty verdict. Mr Parker's brother Craig Parker, 27, told one of Virgo's friends that the music should be turned off on the train at about 11 p.m. on July 30. Before the altercation was ended by off-duty police officers, the two groups yelled at each other. As the train arrived at Reading station, Virgo followed the Parker brothers. Craig Parker told the court that he pursued Virgo through the station because he did not want to let him get away from him. 'I was in a bear hug, screaming, not holding (him), so I didn't want to let him go,' he said.'
