Family’s punch death trauma

The sister of Thomas Keaney, who was killed by a single punch in Australia, has spoken of how her family continue to struggle to cope with the loss.

Earlier this week, 24-year-old Abbas Yahya Al Jrood, was sentenced to nine years in prison for the unprovoked one punch attack.

Mr Keaney, aged 23, from Ballyconneely in Galway, died 10 days after the fatal punch which caused him to hit his head on the pavement outside a kebab shop in December 2013.
