Kevin Wood was punched by Callum Crosbie, 23, of Colebridge Close, Newcastle, outside the Printworks on Dantzic Street in the city centre last year, according to his wife, who had been with him for 38 years.

Kevin had arrived at the centre shortly after 8 p.m. on Saturday 20 November to celebrate his wife Debbie’s birthday, intending to enter the Printworks for a birthday meal before encountering a disturbance outside the entrance. Shortly after, emergency services were called to the scene after Crosbie delivered one fatal blow to Kevin, 60.
