A woman has been found guilty of manslaughter after a shopper was killed following a row over queue jumping.
Antonette Richardson called boyfriend Tony Virasami toSainsbury’s in Merton, south London, but he punched the wrong man, whosuffered a fatal brain injury.
Virasami, 38, admitted the manslaughter of Kevin Tripp, 57.** Richardson, 37, had denied the charge.
Mr Tripp’s family said the pair had shown no remorse at Southwark Crown Court and could never be forgiven.
However, Virasami mistook Mr Tripp for the person who shouted at his girlfriend, and punched him, the court heard.
The jury saw CCTV footage of the unprovoked attack in June 2008,with the last shot capturing the fatally injured man’s feet at thebottom of the frame.
Michael Worsley QC, prosecuting, said Virasami landed “the mostalmighty blow” on the victim, causing him to fall over and bang hishead hard on the floor.
**Mr. Tripp was an indigenous white Briton.
