Steven Chappell, 29, assaulted Daniel Bradley, 32, in the vicinity of The Brogden pub, Porthcawl on Friday September 8, 2023. He died in hospital on September 23, 2023, as a result of his injuries.

Steven Chappell, from Beechwood Avenue, Cwmdare, Aberdare was sentenced today to 14 years in prison at Newport Crown Court after being found guilty of manslaughter.

Detective Inspector Claire Lamerton said: “Daniel suffered a violent, unprovoked attack from Steven Chappell.  Daniel didn’t represent any threat, and nothing happened that night that justified what Steven Chappell did to Daniel.

“Rather than walking away Steven Chappell’s anger resulted in the assault on Daniel being excessive, unnecessary, and completely reckless.

“This case shows what devastating consequences attacks of this nature can have.  I would encourage others to think about how easily a decision can affect the rest of your life and potentially end someone else’s.

“Our thoughts remain with Daniel’s family and friends.”
