Ashley Pace, 35, of no fixed address, was sentenced today at Wolverhampton Crown Court after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of 38-year-old Jagdev Singh Lally at an earlier hearing.

On 14 April 2020, Ashley Pace dragged Mr Lally, who was trying to sleep in a shopping precinct, from underneath the blankets that he was using for warmth and kicked him whilst he lay defenceless on the ground. One of Pace’s kicks struck Mr Lally’s head with such force it caused irreparable brain damage and, whilst receiving treatment for his injuries in hospital, Mr Lally tragically died.
