Deceased assault victim told ‘not your business’ and punched in the face

Assault victim Paddy Mullally went to the aid of a woman being accosted by her partner, despite being told it was “a domestic” and “none of your business”.

Mr Mullally, who was out for his retirement party, called out “leave her alone, leave her alone” to a man he saw harassing a woman.

When the attacker refused to stop, the 57-year-old remonstrated with him, but was punched twice in the head. Falling, he banged his head off the footpath.
