On a fateful evening in April last year, a 32-year-old man found himself in a state of panic and rage. He had been spending time with his children at his ex-partner's house, but when it was time to leave, his son refused to come with him. The man, determined to teach his son a lesson, drove off without him.
When he returned a short while later, he was horrified to see a stranger holding his son's hand near a bus stop. In a fit of rage, he approached the man and yelled at him to let go of his son. He even went as far as shoving the stranger, who was later identified as 60-year-old Mewa Singh from India. The man believed that Singh was trying to abduct his son and became even more enraged.
The man's ex-partner, who was also present, tried to stop him from going back to the park, but he refused to listen. He was convinced that Singh was a danger to his son and felt it was his duty to protect him. When he reached the park, he confronted Singh and grabbed him by the collar, accusing him of being a paedophile. In a moment of blind anger, he delivered a powerful punch to Singh's jaw, causing him to fall and hit his head on the pavement.
The man, thinking he had just killed a stranger who he believed was a threat to his son, left him lying on the ground and returned to his ex-partner's house. He told her what had happened and then drove to his home, where he confided in his flatmate about the incident. The man's ex-partner, fearing for Singh's safety, called the police and the man was arrested.
Unfortunately, Singh did not survive the brutal punch and passed away two days later at the hospital. The man, who had acted out of a misplaced sense of protection for his son, was charged with manslaughter and appeared in court where he pleaded guilty. His identity was kept confidential until his scheduled sentencing in October.
In an interview with a news outlet, a police detective confirmed that Singh was not a threat to the man's son and that the man's belief was incorrect. He also stated that Singh had been visiting his son and grandson in New Zealand and had done nothing wrong.
The tragedy serves as a reminder that acting on impulse and misguided beliefs can have dire consequences. It is a heartbreaking reminder that a life was lost due to a misunderstanding and a moment of blind anger. The man's actions not only took away a man's life, but it also left his family and loved ones grieving.
