According to the court, Reece Newcombe made a heartbreaking decision to confront Ross Hamilton, who was armed with a broken bottle. The two had been involved in a violent altercation, which resulted in the tragic death of Newcombe. Hamilton, a known troublemaker, had been threatening and aggressive towards club-goers before stabbing Newcombe in the neck with the broken glass.
The court heard that Newcombe, a well-known celebrity boxing coach and friend of ex-footballer Ian Wright, had collapsed in a pool of blood after saying, "I'm dead - he's done me." This senseless act of violence has now resulted in Hamilton being sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 19 years.
During the trial, Judge Anthony Leonard KC expressed his dismay at Hamilton's actions, stating that in just a brief moment, he had caused a family to lose a cherished member and his partner and children to lose their loving support. He also noted that Newcombe's partner, who was pregnant at the time of his death, had to deal with her grief while also going through the pregnancy and birth of their second daughter, who will never know her father.
The court was also informed that Hamilton had a history of violent behavior, with previous convictions for assaulting girlfriends and a taxi driver. The deadly attack took place on Richmond Bridge in London, fueled by intoxicated aggression and Hamilton's decision to arm himself with the broken bottle.
Earlier in the evening, both Hamilton and Newcombe had been watching a World Cup game at a fanzone in Richmond Park. Newcombe then went on to a nearby nightclub, where he became intoxicated and was having a good time. Meanwhile, Hamilton had also gone to the same club and was acting aggressively and unpredictably, goading people and even challenging them to fight him.
As the night went on, Hamilton's behavior became increasingly hostile, and after the club closed, he continued to confront people and goad them into fighting him. He even went as far as to say, "I will ju-jitsu the f*** out of you," showing just how determined he was to start a fight.
In the early hours of the morning, Newcombe made the tragic decision to engage with Hamilton, who was already armed with a piece of broken glass. After being stabbed in the neck, Newcombe's friends rushed to his aid, but it was too late. Hamilton fled the scene but later turned himself in to the police.
The court also heard that Hamilton had a history of violence, with previous convictions for assaulting a taxi driver and hitting two different girlfriends. In a letter to the judge, he expressed remorse for his actions and explained his difficult and unsettled childhood. However, his actions have now resulted in a life sentence for murder, as well as a four-month sentence for assaulting another man.
In conclusion, this senseless act of violence has not only taken the life of a beloved member of the community but has also left his family and friends devastated. The court has made it clear that this type of behavior will not be tolerated, and Hamilton will face the consequences of his actions for the rest of his life.
