A student who mocked Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba on Twitter after he collapsed at White Hart Lane was jailed on Tuesday for inciting racial hatred.

Liam Stacey, 21, provoked revulsion with comments made while Muamba still lay on the pitch after suffering a cardiac arrest during Bolton's FA Cup quarter-final with Tottenham on March 17.

Police were inundated with complaints as members of the public reported the student's comments. Stacey, a Swansea University biology undergraduate, was quickly tracked down and arrested.

Last week he admitted inciting racial hatred when he appeared briefly at Swansea Magistrates' Court and on Tuesday he was jailed for 56 days at the same court.

The first of Stacey's messages began with "LOL (laugh out loud). **** Muamba. He's dead!!!''

A number of people took him to task for his views and he responded with a further string of offensive comments aimed at other Twitter users.

Stacey was close to tears during his appearance before magistrates last week.

Muamba's recovery since suffering a cardiac arrest ten days ago has been described as "miraculous". He remains in intensive care in hospital where his condition is described as serious but stable.

Maybe we should report all those UK based racists too for inciting racial hatred in Nigeria.

^ Ha! You the arch tribalistic and bigoted evil racist of NLand now calling another names? I am wondering if your name was included on the "REMATCH" list and if not, it is just that there's no way any human can track all the multiple IDs racists like Obiagwu, Dedenson1, ILL-Logic Mind, Okijah Juju, Ezeuche, ACM 10, Adabadada, OnlyFATBIGLies, and too many KKK racialists on NL. I think racists and tribalists like you should be banished to a different planet where you can have your utopia!

Comments from NL should be forwarded accordingly.
There is hope!
Hoooooooooray!
Especially for the arrest of my e badu belle and e jolosi h-enemies!
