Jail For Killer Who Threw Fatal Punch Outside Lap-Dancing Club

One-Punch Killer Chiakka
A one-punch killer is starting a six-and-a-half year prison sentence after fatally decking a Swedish tourist outside a West End lap-dancing club.
Antonio Chiakka, 21, of Enfield, north London had been downing champagne, cocktails and vodka Red Bull's inside Sophisticats during a four-hour binge.
Outside the Henrietta Place venue at 6.00am on July 29, last year he punched tipsy visitor Guzman Shannan, 49, who was seeking a taxi to return to the hotel his wife and him were staying at.
Greek-Cypriot Chiakka fled to the Mediterranean island, where he googled “one punch killer” and returned to the UK the day after Mr. Shannan died.
He suffered devastating head injuries as he fell to the pavement.
Another club customer, causing trouble, had approached Mr. Shannan outside and Chiakka was seen to roll up his sleeve before delivering the blow.
An Old Bailey jury convicted him of manslaughter after a trial, during which Chiakka claimed he was acting in self defence.

An ambulance crew rushed the victim, who was bleeding from his nose and ears, to hospital in a critical condition.
He died a few days later on August 2 from the head injury.
