Knaresborough man sentenced to 13 years in prison for manslaughter
Knaresborough man Dean Kilkenny has been sentenced to 13 years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter following the death of a man at a pub.
Kilkenny, 47, and Moverley, 44, were involved in an altercation with 43-year-old Darron Bower at the Pier Hotel in Withernsea, East Yorkshire, on March 11.
Emergency services attended but Mr Bower died at the scene.
The two men pleaded not guilty to his murder at Sheffield Crown Court last month.
However, Kilkenny, of Whiteley Yard in Knaresborough, admitted manslaughter, whilst Moverley pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm and affray on another man during the altercation.
