It's a tough world. The Daily Telegraph in Sydney reports that 22-year-old Daniel Kling has been sentenced to eight years jail for fatally bashing a work colleague on the head with a cricket bat. The two argued and fought at work and their boss sent them home to
"sort their shit out".
"However, after things calmed down, an intoxicated Swain called Andrew Kling a "dickhead" as he left the house, prompting his son to follow him outside. The prosection said after Swain said "let's go" and put his fists up, Kling whacked him across the left side of his head with the bat in a single, heavy blow."
