The distraught dad said he cannot understand why his son was the victim of such a barbaric ambush.

He said: “My son was truly a good boy. I don’t understand why so much hatred. I miss him so much, it’s terrible.”

“He played guitar, I often took him fishing with me. He wanted to be a YouTuber when he was younger to do silly things, I told him no but we created a channel for fishing.

“He made music all the time, it always channeled his energy.”

Shortly after Louis’ fatal beating on June 20, harrowing footage emerged on social media showing the young man on the ground with blood pouring from his face.

He was rushed to hospital and placed in a coma where doctors spent five days doing all they could to improve his condition.
