A Newcastle man who randomly punched and killed a father on a night out in Manchester city centre has been jailed for seven years for manslaughter.
Kevin Wood, described by his wife who had been with him for 38 years as her ‘soul mate, best friend and hard-working’, was punched by Callum Crosbie, 23, of Colebridge Close, Newcastle, outside the Printworks on Dantzic Street in Manchester city centre last year.
Just after 8pm on Saturday 20 November, Kevin had visited the complex in the centre of Manchester to celebrate his wife Debbie’s birthday, wanting to enter the Printworks for a birthday meal before coming across a disorder outside the entrance.
