A Salford man has been jailed for eightand half years today after admitting punching a man during an argument which led his victim falling and sustaining a head injury causing his death.
Jak Kent aged 212 punched 49-year-old Lee Oates several times causing him to fall and sustain a serious head injury during an argument at a propertyon Leicester Road last September .
Lee died in hospital a week later.
DC Katie Halstead, of GMP’s Salford district, said: “In this case, an argument escalated and resulted in a man’s death. Kent was undeniably violent towards Lee. Our thoughts remain with Lee’s loved ones, who have been devastated.
“I hope this case warns violent individuals that their behaviour can have devastating consequences and won’t be tolerated by the Police, Crown Prosecution Service or the Courts.”
