Kieran Loveridge, the man convicted of manslaughter over the 2012 one-punch killing of 18-year-old Thomas Kelly, has been granted parole.
Neither the state nor Kelly's parents opposed granting parole to Loveridge, while the Serious Offenders Review Council and Community Correction both supported it.One-punch killer Kieran Loveridge, shown here in 2013, has been granted parole. "For Thomas's death to mean something, it is imperative that every effort is made to ensure that a pathway is created to ensure Mr Loveridge's transition to community life is as smooth as possible."Loveridge was heavily drunk when he punched Kelly in the face during a night out in Sydney on July 7, 2012, knocking the 18-year-old down and fracturing his skull when he fell backwards.Thomas Kelly was 18 when he was fatally assaulted by Loveridge.
Today, though, it said the evidence it had been given indicates Loveridge has made "positive progress" in custody, and that it is better to release him on parole now so he has more than two years of supervision.
