VIC:Vic teen jailed for fatal punch

Police have warned of the horrendous consequences of fighting on the streets after
a young man, who killed a teenager with a single punch to the head, was jailed today.

After drinking 15 vodka energy drinks in three hours the youth punched 17-year-old
CAMERON LOWE on the jaw in an unprovoked attack on a suburban Melbourne street in November
last year.

CAMERON regained consciousness and went home to bed but didn't wake up and died in
hospital a few days later.

Today in the Victorian Supreme Court, his attacker, who can't be identified because
of his age at the time of the assault, has been ordered to serve at least four years in
prison.

Detective Senior Constable NATHAN TOEY says if people want to get in the boxing ring
there are plenty of places they can, but not on the street.
