Drunken thug who kicked and punched 72-year-old pensioner to death is jailed nine years

Samuel Watts, 23
Melvyn Hargreaves, 72
A drunken student who kicked and punched a 72-year-old man to death in a savage unprovoked street attack which he launched 'just because he wanted a fight' has been jailed for nine years.

Samuel Watts, 23, was 'out looking for trouble' following a bar crawl in Derby and had already attacked two strangers when he spotted pensioner Melvyn Hargreaves on the outskirts of the city.
Father-of-four Mr Hargreaves was walking his collie dogs with partner Jean Bill, 77, shortly after midnight on January 2 last year when the animals started barking at Watts as he approached.
