And this is why I donât fight, guys.
According to The Sun, an 18-year-old kid named Archie Lloyd has died following an altercation outside of a club in Malia, Greece with a 22-year-old promoter named Sebastian Trabucatti, in which Lloyd yelled to Trabucatti âone day youâll work for me.â
Apparently, that pissed off the guy so much that he swung and landed a punch on Archie, which knocked him out and caused him to hit his head on the pavement, ultimately leading to his death while sleeping.
Although witnesses are telling conflicting stories about whether the hit was a punch or just a slap in the face, the result ended in death, with the coroner ruling that the teen had been âunlawfully killedâ.
Hereâs what a report said, per The Sun:
âBased on the evidence, I am sure that Mr Lloyd was struck in the face and I find it proven beyond all reasonable doubt that this was a deliberate and intentional act.
âI donât find there was any intention to cause death. But it was the inadvertent consequences that Mr Lloyd was knocked backwards and struck the back of his head, and death resulted.
âIn English law that results in involuntary manslaughter. It follows that I conclude that this was a death due to unlawful killing.â
In Malia celebrating the end of his exams with four friends, one of Archieâs buddies, Andy Hutchingson described how things went down, per The Sun:
âWe heard the noise behind us and saw two women and one man riding about eight metres away form us. Archie told them to âf**k offâ and they used bad language in return.
âThey stopped two metres in front of us and although it was still night-time is was light enough for me to recognise one of them as the same man earlier in the toilet.
âThe two women were the most confrontational. The three were in a triangle formation with a lady either side of the man.
âThe man pushed me. I lost my balance and swayed. I wasnât aware of Archie doing or saying anything.
âAll this was over in 10 seconds.
âThey started to leave and I thought that was the end of it. Archie then shouted âone day youâll work for meâ.â
âThe quad bike stopped in front of Archie. I was facing away, then I heard one of the girls say âyou deserved that.â
Hutchingson later added: âArchie never spoke again after the hit, he didnât understand what was happening to him.â
The perpetrator, Sebastian Trabucatti, was arrested and charged with gross negligence leading to manslaughter, but released on bail. A trial for the case will reportedly be held next year.
