Home detention for punching MMA fighter who later died

From Checkpoint, 5:47 pm on 10 August 2021

A man who punched a young MMA fighter in the head, has been sentenced to six months' home detention.

Fau Vake later died and his friend has likened the sentence to a Covid-19 restriction - not justice.

Twenty-nine-year-old Ofa He Mooni Folau pleaded guilty to two charges of assaulting with intent to injure.
