A man who was jailed for taking part in the far-right rioting which swept across the UK this summer has died in prison.
Peter Lynch, a 61-year-old grandfather, was serving a two-year sentence after admitting to violent disorder and abusing police outside a Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham on August 4.
He shouted ‘racist and provocative remarks’ towards officers and called asylum seekers in the hotel ‘child killers’, Sheffield Crown Court heard at his sentencing.
