A cocaine fuelled thug celebrating a friend's birthday killed an innocent grandad after his group had been thrown out of the Printworks. Callum Crosbie killed 60-year-old bricklayer Kevin Wood with a single punch.
Crosbie, 23, had travelled to Manchester with a group of about 10 friends from their homes in Newcastle, while Mr Wood was out with his wife celebrating her birthday. The strangers met on Dantzic Street outside the Printworks in Manchester city centre, when Crosbie and others had been ejected from the popular nightspot.
They had refused to leave a table in O'Neill's pub, which was being removed to make space for a dancefloor for the evening. After they had been escorted onto Dantzic Street, Mr Wood, from Middleton, walked along with his wife Debbie where an ugly fracas broke out.
