This month saw the conclusion of two tragic cases involving the death of a pensioner and a man on a night out in separate but truly horrifying circumstances where they were both killed quite by random.
On Friday (July 29) defendant Kyle Turton was handed a nine-year jail term, with an extended period on licence for five years on his release, as he was sentenced for manslaughter at Nottingham Crown Court.
Turton, 21, of of Brooksby Lane, Clifton, was drunk in Upper Parliament Street, in Nottingham city centre, in the early hours of Saturday, March 5.

Stranger Nathaniel Bierley died in hospital 12 days after he was knocked to the ground from a single punch and hit his head. Read the full story here
