A heartbroken wife has told how her husband was killed by a single punch at their works Christmas party.
Christine Edwards, 57, watched in horror as managing director Vaughan, 52, was knocked to the floor by the one punch in the attack at their company festive bash.
It came just days before Christmas-loving Vaughan had planned a “perfect day” for his family for the festive season.
And now brave Christine is backing a police campaign urging people to “just walk away” from any trouble at festive parties.
The couple had been out for their work Christmas party when he was hit by factory worker David Jenkins, 38.
Devastated Christine has now told how the festive season was Vaughan’s favourite time of year.
The “gentle giant” loved to put a Christmas tree in every room of the home and to proudly display his Bing Crosby ornament.
Christine, of Llanelli, south Wales, said: “Every Christmas had a theme and he’d gone all out to make sure we had everything for a perfect day.
“He was going to cook a big meal on Christmas Eve, and had written the menu up on a board in the kitchen – we couldn’t bring ourselves to wipe it off for ages after.
“The cake he had made is still in the freezer. It doesn’t feel right to get rid of it.
“To anyone else, the house still looked as if we were celebrating Christmas as normal, but we were living a nightmare.”
