A judge has said a prison term is “inevitable” for a father-of-five who admitted assaulting a “popular, gentle” man who later died. Mr Gill then dragged Mr Kelly up to eight metres from Mr Curtis’s front door to the road and kicked him once in the head. Emergency services arrived and administered continuous CPR to Mr Kelly, but he died. He submitted that Mr Gill is a hardworking man who has had difficulties and tragedy in his own background. Ms Greally remanded Mr Gill on continuing bail and put the matter back for sentence to next Monday.
