A drunken reveller who caused a dad's death by shoving him to the ground outside a pub has been jailed for his manslaughter. Carl Sinclair, 58, was caught on CCTV footage attacking Roy Halliwell, 61, before casually walking away.
Mr Halliwell hit his head on the floor and died of his injuries a week later. Sinclair was jailed for five years and six months after pleading guilty to manslaughter at Bolton Crown Court.
Police said Sinclair had been making threats and shouting 'nonsensically' at Mr Halliwell before the incident in the street in Wigan town centre last December. He then followed Mr Halliwell to a nearby pub where he violently pushed him to the ground, leaving him with a critical head wound.
