United KingdomMartin Greensmith, 37, was found guilty of manslaughter after pushing his biological father, Steven Shevels, 61, who died in a pub garden on Christmas Eve. The incident occurred at The Queen's Head in Willington, County Durham, when Greensmith discovered that Shevels was his father during a visit to the pub. Greensmith claimed he only 'gently' pushed Shevels after feeling intimidated, but prosecutors argued it was an act of anger. Shevels, described as someone who caused trouble when drunk, had been drinking at the pub and attempted to engage with Greensmith's family. After being asked to leave the pub, Shevels followed Greensmith outside, leading to the confrontation. Despite attempts to assist him, Shevels collapsed and later died from injuries sustained in the altercation. Greensmith expressed remorse and will be sentenced on 21 October.
