The whole incident was captured on CCTV. <\/p>\n<p>In the early hours of Monday 15 March 2010, Veitch was in the Mess House pub on Yorkshire Street, Oldham, when there was a disturbance inside and another man was ejected. <\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/wdi4nxd0XdI?fs=1&#038;hl=en_GB\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/wdi4nxd0XdI?fs=1&#038;hl=en_GB\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Veitch went outside onto the pavement where he spoke to a number of other people, including Andrew Molloy, none of which had been involved in the previous disturbance. <\/p>\n<p>During the conversation with Andrew, Veitch suddenly moved to one side, touched him on the shoulder as if to line up a punch, and threw a single punch to the face. <\/p>\n<p>The blow was so strong it knocked Andrew, who had his hands in his pockets, off his feet and he fell backwards, his head hitting the floor. <\/p>\n<p>Andrew suffered a fatal head injury as he hit the floor. He was taken to Hope Hospital, where he died six hours later. <\/p>\n<p>Senior Investigating Officer Andrew Tattersall said: &#8220;This was a sudden attack on an innocent, defenceless man who had his hands in his pockets at the time. He didn&#8217;t even have time to protect himself. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll never know why Veitch decided to pick on Andrew. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do know that Andrew&#8217;s needless and untimely death has left his family devastated. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This case demonstrates the terrible consequences of just one punch or push.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 22-year-old man has admitted throwing the single punch that led to an Oldham man&#8217;s death. <\/p>\n<p>Continue reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/?p=2014\">Man sentenced after one-punch death<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,10],"tags":[1743,1754],"class_list":["post-2014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-criminal-justice-system","category-police-policing","tag-managers","tag-uk-defence-training-estate","odd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Man sentenced after one-punch death - Government &amp; Public Sector Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/?p=2014\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Man sentenced after one-punch death - Government &amp; Public Sector Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A 22-year-old man has admitted throwing the single punch that led to an Oldham man&#039;s death.
