Builder jailed for killing walker
A 21-year-old labourer has been jailed for six years for killing a dog walker in a row at a bus stop.
Alec Pearn used a 3ft piece of wood to batter 66-year-old Peter Seaman, who had asked him to move his feet which were blocking the pavement.
Mr Seaman died from a fractured skull after the attack in Dobwalls, Cornwall on 7 August 2008.
Pearn, from Looe in Cornwall, was found guilty at Truro Crown Court of manslaughter and cleared of murder.
The court heard that Pearn had been waiting at the bus stop for his father, Andrew.
Retired plumber Mr Seaman was walking his dog, Gem, when he came across Pearn sitting with his legs across the pavement.
