A man has been jailed for manslaughter after two brutal punches in a Chatham car park led to a man’s untimely death.
Unprovoked Attack in Magpie Hall Road Car Park
John Farmer, 45, struck his 33-year-old victim without warning on 1 April 2024, in a car park on Magpie Hall Road.
The victim collapsed at the scene and was rushed to a hospital in London. Sadly, he was pronounced dead the very next day.

Police arrested Farmer at his home on Coronation Road just days later, on 4 April. He denied guilt but was convicted at Maidstone Crown Court after a full trial.
