A doorman yesterday admitted the manslaughter of a builder who died from a single punch to the head during a street brawl.

Law student Mohammed Waqar, 22, pleaded guilty at Bristol crown court to killing Simon Bampton, who was assaulted in Bristol on August 19 last year.

Mr Bampton, 21, from Southampton, was walking through the city when he got into a row with Waqar, from Birmingham, in the early hours. He suffered a brain haemorrhage when his head snapped back. Waqar will be sentenced on February 4.
