A tragic incident unfolded as a good Samaritan was fatally struck while trying to stop a fight outside a pub in Chichester
Chichester: It’s a heartbreaking story that unfolded outside a pub. A good Samaritan, David Hallatt, tried to break up a fight and ended up losing his life.
Kieran Egan, the man who threw the fatal punch, was found guilty of manslaughter. He was cleared of murder, which is a bit of a twist in this tragic tale.
Witnesses said the punch sounded like a gunshot. David was just trying to help, pleading with Egan to stop fighting. But one punch was all it took, and he fell, hitting his head on the pavement.
Emergency services rushed to help, but sadly, David didn’t make it. He was a devoted family man, leaving behind a wife and two daughters who are heartbroken.
The whole scene was caught on CCTV, and it’s just gut-wrenching to watch. Egan was visibly shaken in court, and you could see the weight of what he did was heavy on him.
David’s family described him as a loving husband and father who lived for his family and loved his work. It’s just so tragic that a night out turned into such a nightmare.
