''James 'Jimmy' Adams had just finished his shift as a glass collector at the New Beehive pub
He said his goodbyes and headed for home - but the 46-year-old would never make it.
''Instead of walking directly to his flat in Heaton Road, Manningham, Mr Adams stopped at a block of public toilets at the junction of Carlisle Road and Bavaria Place.
Eyewitnesses spotted another man follow him into the darkness and moments later heard screams coming from the public toilets.''

''Mr Adams stumbled out into the street and collapsed as the suspect walked out behind him, still holding the Bowie knife used to stab his victim 22 times.''
''The suspect was described as a white male, between 5ft 6 inches and 5ft 8 inches tall, of a medium build, with dirty blonde collar length hair. He was wearing distinctive thick "bottle bottom" glasses.
At the time, witnesses suggested the man looked to be around 25 to 35 years old. This would place the suspect between the ages of 67 to 77 today.
A witness described him as looking like the singer John Denver.''
