Moment drunken reveller argues with best friend in 'silly' row before he kills ... trends now

This is the moment a drunken reveller was captured on CCTV having a 'silly argument' with his best friend before he killed him with a single punch.

Jay Webster, 28, struck pal Benjamin Lloyd, 27, after the two rowed outside a library in Caerphilly, Wales with the fatal fight captured on camera.

A court heard Webster was turned away from a pub for being too drunk on April 1 this year and the pair argued soon after.

CCTV captured Mr Lloyd walking away through the town before the pair come together and began to argue.

Webster, seen wearing a grey hoodie, knocks Mr Lloyd's hat from his head and pushes him towards a wall.

Witness Curtis Jeremiah said: 'I can recall Mr Lloyd hitting the ground hard and the noise was horrible.

'It was almost like the sound of a snap as his head hit the ground.'

Cardiff Crown Court heard Webster appeared 'absolutely devastated' as he stood over his best friend frantically saying: 'Get up Ben. Get up.'

Prosecutor James Wilson said CCTV footage captured the moment the violence was sparked on April 1 this year.

He said: 'The defendant pushes Mr Lloyd up against a window. Mr Lloyd takes two swings and misses.

'The defendant punches Mr Lloyd to the left side of his face with his right fist and he falls to the ground.'

The court heard Webster told onlookers he 'did not mean to do it' after they had a 'silly argument' in Caerphilly, South Wales.

He stayed with his friend as witnesses called for an ambulance before Mr Lloyd regained consciousness after three minutes.
