One punch widow speaks of loss

Ravi Sandhu, aged 24, of Kathie Road, Bedford, has been found guilty by ajury at Luton Crown Court of the manslaughter of Kevin Harrison.

He punched Mr Harrison, from Raunds, in September last year in an unprovoked attack in Bedford town centre after a night out. The injuries caused as Mr Harrison’s head hit the pavement were fatal.

Outside court Kevin's widow Patricia said of her husband: "Kevin was my best friend, he meant the world to me and still lives on in my memory. He was the most caring person I have ever known. He was hard working and he loved his family dearly. We are totally lost without him."

Single punch death

A Bedford man has been jailed for killing a man with a single punch.

24 year old Ravi Sandhu hit father of two Kevin Harrison following an earlier altercation outside a nightclub last September.

48 year old Mr Harrison of Raunds in Northamptonshire fell to the ground after being punched in the face. He died a week later at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge from a severe head injury.

Sandhu of Kathie Road, Bedford claimed he had been acting in self defence. A jury at Luton Crown Court did not accept his version of events and found him guilty of manslaughter.
