The sister of 'courageous' Nathaniel Bierley looked his 'out of control' one-punch killer Kyle Turton bravely in the eye and told him: "You didn’t just take Nathaniel’s life you took all of our lives." In an emotional statement read aloud in court, Mr Bierley's sister Louisa moved to explain to Turton just how much damage he had caused.
She told him: "You have taken the life of a young man that was so loved, loved life and was always so dedicated to making a change and standing up for others' rights. The pain and hurt you have caused to all of us. You have ruined every birthday and every Christmas because you didn’t just take Nathaniel’s life you took all of our lives when you took my brother's life.”
Turton, 21, was drunk when he floored Five Guys worker Mr Bierley, a complete stranger, with a single punch in Upper Parliament Street. A friend of Turton said the killer was looking to start something and that Turton's behaviour had changed completely and he had become "jumpy and aggressive" on the evening in question.
