21st December 2025
ndrew Clark, 43, had been celebrating his beloved Newcastle United winning the League Cup – calling it ‘the best day of his life’ – when he encountered Demiesh Williams while shopping at the supermarket in Beckenham, south London, in March.
The 30-year-old had jumped the queue in front of Andrew, who then challenged him for pushing in. Andrew’s partner of 23 years, Cairistine Clark, recalled that Williams reacted angrily to being challenged.
As reported by the Mirror, he vowed to staff and customers as he left the shop that he would ‘get him outside’. Woolwich Crown Court heard that as the family left the shop Williams had approached Andrew and slapped him with an open hand. Andrew had then fallen to the ground from the blow and hit his head, dying of his injuries in hospital three days later.
Williams, who worked as a bis driver, was sentenced to five years and three months in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter. After walking out of court before the judge finished speaking, Andrew’s family have slammed the sentence as ‘an absolute joke’.
