Rich schoolboy punched and killed by club promoter
Quote:
A Harrow schoolboy died when he was punched by an alleged attacker after he shouted "one day you'll work for me" at him, an inquest has heard.
Archie Lloyd, 18, was celebrating the end of his A-Levels in Malia when he became involved in an altercation and was struck by Sebastian Trabucatti, another Briton who was working on the Greek island as a club promoter.
The coroner has recorded a verdict of unlawful killing.
Witnesses said 18-year-old Mr Lloyd and best friend Andy Hutchinson "didn't want trouble" and tried to walk away, but were attacked by Sebastian Trabucatti who was accompanied by two women on mopeds.

"The man pushed me. I lost my balance and swayed. I wasn't aware of Archie doing or saying anything,” Mr Hutchinson said, The Sun reported. “All this was over in 10 seconds.”
"They started to leave and I thought that was the end of it. Archie then shouted 'one day you'll work for me'.
"In a split second I saw one of the women raise her hands and point to Archie, she said: 'You deserved that.'
Nobody deserves death for just being an asshole, but hopefully stories like this serve as a reminder for people to treat and speak to people the way they'd like to be treated. You never know where someone's head may be or what they might be going through when you happen to cross paths -- a little kindness could make a world of difference to somebody and on the flip side, a little push could send someone over the edge.
I feel bad for both of their families; I'm sure the guy that punched that kid didn't intend to kill him -- now his life is ruined and a kid is dead; who knows, he may have outgrown his arrogance had he had a chance to live and mature, tragic situation all around.
nah he can serve some time.
