An “absolute idiot” who punched a millionaire banker to death in the street over a misunderstanding before fleeing in a rickshaw has been jailed for three years and nine months.
Paul Mason, 52, CEO for Qatar National Bank, was accused of stealing a mobile phone by Steven Allan, 35, after enjoying a meal at The Ivy in London, in December 2020.
The victim was knocked to the ground, and as he tried to get up Allan hit him with an uppercut causing his skull to hit the pavement.
