A man killed his friend with a drunken punch after finding out he had a fling with his ex-girlfriend. Paul Brierley, 44, attacked Paul Ologbose, also known as ‘Bushy’, during a night out at the Higher Fold Sports and Social Club in Leigh.
The pair had both been drinking at the club, and were said to be ‘very drunk’ before the attack. Brierley, of Leigh, had earlier been in a confrontation with another friend about comments he made towards his young son in jest, which resulted in him punching them.
As they went outside, Brierley told his friend that he ‘should have told him’ about Mr Ologbose and his ex-partner, who were said to have had a fling in November 2021. His friend told him: “You knew about this for months, it’s finished now.”
