Christopher Cooper was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing Kelvin Evans in a unprovoked attack outside a pub.
A man who killed a ‘timid, fun-loving’ pub-goer with one punch in a cowardly attack over a perceived slight about his partner’s karaoke singing has been jailed for life. Christopher Cooper, 39, took a swing at 64-year-old Kelvin Evans from behind outside The Station Hotel, known locally as ‘The Gyp’, in Gorseinon on May 26 last year.
Chilling CCTV of the attack shows Mr Evans – who appears to have been oblivious to Cooper with no chance of defending himself – fall sideways into a wall before landing on the pavement. Mr Evans was immediately knocked unconscious and was taken to hospital, where he died a month later. Cooper, from the Maritime Quarter, Swansea, boasted about the attack afterwards, calling his fists his ‘bad boys’
