Student jailed for mocking stricken Muamba on Twitter

A student who mocked footballer Fabrice Muamba on Twitter after he collapsed during a match was jailed yesterday for inciting racial hatred.

Liam Stacey, 21, provoked revulsion with comments made while the Bolton star still lay on the pitch.

The 23-year-old midfielder was left fighting for his life after suffering a cardiac arrest during the FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham on March 17.
