Man jailed for Suburbia murder

A man who murdered another man in a nightclub in Manchester City Centre has been jailed.

Dorian Graham, who's 30-years-old and from Trafford, was given a life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of Jordan Ross and the attempted murder of another man.

During the five-week trial, the court heard how he had been on a night out when he became involved in a fight with another group in Suburbia.

Detective Inspector Andy Butterworth said:

“This was a tragic case of a man who went on a night out in a buzzing city centre with his friends but never came home to his family.

“Nobody should have to experience a loss like this but that never crossed Graham’s mind when he went out, armed with a knife and prepared to use it.

“Despite being seen on CCTV wielding a knife and swinging it at other people, Graham still refused to take responsibility for his actions and pleaded innocence to Jordan’s murder.

“His death was devastating enough for his loved ones but Graham has made them re-live exactly what happened all over again during an intense five week trial.

“With that in mind, I can only pay tribute to them for the incredible strength that they have shown and I hope the result will bring them some comfort knowing that the man responsible for Jordan’s death has been brought to justice.”
