ONE of two teenagers who killed Reece Tansey in Bolton has been released after serving just three years in custody.
Yesterday the family of Reece condemned the decision to free Mark Nuttall as "a disgrace".
A court was told how Nuttall and his friend James White were 'living out a fantasy' and the pair 'pretended they were gangsters' when they attacked Reece.
In the early hours of May 4th 2021 White crept out of his home with two knives one for him and another for Nuttall.
Nuttall had got into a social media spat with a friend of 15-year-old Reece Tansey and things eventually escalated into serious threats on Snapchat. White told Reece that he would make him 'beg for his life' and told him 'u and ur boy will get it!
Reece and his friend agreed to meet White and Nuttall for a fight near Great Lever Park, in Bolton, but while Reece was en route, the 15-year-old's friend told him that he had decided to stay in bed.
