Mother, 32, backs railway worker who drenched 'intimidating' homeless man in ...

A homeless man drenched in filthy water by Southern Rail staff outside a commuter station is a convicted killer who stabbed his friend to death in a row over paint. 

Homeless man, Toby Sawyer was 27 when he knifed his friend Gary Moultrie, 38 to death. Mr Moultrie had daubed his friend with white emulsion paint prompting a violent response. 

The 46-year-old killer received a five-year jail term at the Old Bailey in 2000 after the attack.

Mr Moultrie's sister Margaret Austen, 71, told The Sun: 'I’m not surprised the real workers wanted to get rid of him because as far as we’re concerned he is dangerous to other people. 

'He stabbed Gary through the heart and he died from massive blood loss before they could get him to hospital.

"That man was only jailed for five years, it was devastating, not just to lose Gary but also because the man who killed him served so little time in jail.'

Sawyer, 46, has been living on the streets since his release from prison. 

A mother has defended train staff who threw filthy water at a homeless man, saying he was drunk and had threatened her hours before the incident.

Southern Rail staff sloshed water at the man at Sutton Station in an altercation caught on a video that sparked outrage online as people called for workers to be sacked.

Two workers, one in a high-vis jacket and the other holding a green bucket, stand at the side of the man as soapy water pours down the street in south-west London.

He appears to plead with the men and tries to move around on the floor but they do not leave him alone and more water is thrown from the bucket.

But today a witness told The Sun Online that workers had been trying to get rid of the man because he'd spent the morning causing trouble outside the station.
