He posed for photos in a boxing stance - but was sentenced to just five years
A one-punch killer who sent gloating texts following an attack on a much-loved man is to have his "unduly lenient" sentence reviewed.
Just over a week after the attack, Mr O'Hara died at home. He contracted acute bacterial meningitis from a fracture to his skull. As Mr O'Hara lay unconscious on the pavement, Hannan and Mr Shackleton ran away laughing. Members of the public rushed to Mr O'Hara's aid and he was taken to hospital and treated for a fractured eye socket and cheekbone.
Now, Solicitor General, Michael Tomlinson KC MP, has confirmed the sentence given to Michael Hannan for the killing will be referred to the Court of Appeal.
