Prison over fatal attack

A MAN who fatally kicked and stomped on a teenager in a Melbourne laneway stopped in court and bowed to his victim’s family as he was led to jail.

Shengliang Wan, 24, pleaded guilty to manslaughter over the brutal attack on Jeremy Hu, 19, which occurred in the city’s Chinatown precinct in April 2016 during an organised late-night fight over a girl.

“(It) was savage and sickening violence by you,” Justice Stephen Kaye said in the Supreme Court of Victoria yesterday as he sentenced Wan to 11 years jail with a non-parole period of seven-and-a-half years.
