Stag-night reveller died after single punch from bouncer, court hears

A BOUNCER who ejected a drunken stag-night reveller from Stringfellows in London for fondling one of the club’s dancers punched him so hard the man died almost instantaneously, a jury heard.

Heavyweight boxer and martial arts fanatic Marcus Marriott, aged 33, killed 21-stone George MacDonald with a single punch after the reveller touched a lap dancer at the West End club, the Old Bailey was told this week. Marriott’s blow shattered Mr MacDonald’s jaw and sent him tumbling to the pavement, fracturing his skull as he landed, the court heard.

He died minutes after the alleged assault in October 2004.
