A drunken thug has been jailed for killing a charity fundraiser who died from a single punch while he celebrated his anniversary with his girlfriend. Kyle Turton, 21, launched the unprovoked attack on stranger Nathaniel Bierley, 26, in the early hours of March 5 in Nottingham city centre.
Nathaniel - who was well known for raising money for diabetes charities - was rushed to hospital with serious head injuries but died nearly two weeks later. Turton, of Clifton, Nottingham, previously admitted manslaughter at Nottingham Crown Court and was jailed for nine years on Friday.
The court heard Five Guys worker Nathaniel had been out celebrating his third anniversary with his partner when he was attacked in Upper Parliament Street. The university graduate was immediately knocked unconscious and cracked his skull on the pavement as he fell.
