‘We are going to have to get a saw to cut him up, look at the size of him’

A SECTARIAN thug who wanted to kill and cut up his battered Catholic victim was jailed for 16 years yesterday.

Neil White, 30, was part of a gang who strangled and repeatedly stabbed Michael Reid during an attack in Ballymena, Co Antrim.

At one stage the 31-year-old went limp and pretended to be dead in a bid to survive the relentless assault.
