Three-year prison sentence for England fan

Three-year prison sentence for England fan

An England football fan who killed a Wales supporter outside Wembley in September has been handed a three-year prison sentence.

Michael Dye, 44, died from head injuries inflicted by one punch from 41-year-old Ian Mytton prior to a Euro 2012 qualifier between the two nations.

Father-of-three Mytton, who pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter, wept as he was told his fate.

His sentence will take into account the 100 days he has already spent in police custody.

After he has served half his sentence, Mytton will be released on licence.
