A prominent Sydney businessman has died after an alleged one-punch attack in a pub.
Paul Griffin, 55, was drinking with friends at the Ettamogah pub in Kellyville Ridge, in Sydney’s northwest, on Tuesday night after the Melbourne Cup when he was allegedly assaulted shortly before 8pm.
He was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but ultimately succumbed to his injuries on Friday morning, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The morning after the alleged assault, police arrested Terekia Singapu, also known as Huo Kiri, at a property in Plumpton.
“Following a search of a property in Plumpton, police reportedly located 36 cannabis plants and a hydroponic system,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.
“Officers also located and seized several items for forensic testing.”
Singapu, 43, was charged with reckless grievous bodily harm and cultivating a prohibited plant.
He did not apply for bail and will remain in custody until his next court appearance.
More to come.
