It was the State's case that the two accused were part of a "joint enterprise" to murder Mr Parsons. The State's case was that Carlyle changed his clothes and then left the van "off site" at a nearby housing estate. Counsel told the jury that the two men got into a van and caught up with Mr Parsons and beat him to death on a green area at Killinarden Way. Mrs Parsons said she did not want to say what she wanted to about Disney and Carlyle but did say the pair were "murderers". Mrs Parsons said that she had never seen her husband in an altercation and that he saw the good in life and was willing to help "a friend, a colleague or neighbour". Counsel said: "Whatever it was that was said, it caused Vincent Parsons to run. "He was unrecognisable and he was surrounded by machines and tubes everywhere. Mrs Parsons said she was "used" to the behaviour of the two men during the trial "who sat there sniggering and laughing". He said neither Carlyle, who wore a headband and smiled throughout the hearing, nor Disney showed "human compassion or decency". I had to wait for hours to get to see him and that image will haunt me for the rest of my life." "Vincent was a popular, easy-going funny guy who enjoyed a joke and a laugh. He was a fun uncle because he was just a big kid at heart."
