The man who killed a Sky TV employee with one punch on Auckland's waterfront during the Rugby World Cup has been jailed for five years. Kit John Murray was sentenced in the High Court at Auckland on Tuesday for the manslaughter of Billy Dawson, 34, who died on October 7 last year after an early morning fight near Spy Bar in Auckland's Viaduct Basin. Murray was found guilty after a trial in August.
