Freed one-punch killer Kieran Loveridge seen enjoying a Saturday with his ... trends now
One-punch killer Kieran Loveridge has been spotted enjoying a Saturday morning with a woman believed to be his girlfriend and two small children after he was recently released from prison after a decade behind bars.
Loveridge, 30, was released on parole from Broken Hill prison two weeks ago having been imprisoned when he fatally struck 18-year-old Thomas Kelly with a single punch in Sydney's Kings Cross back in July 2012.
The attack led the New South Wales Government to introduce strict mandatory sentencing laws for drunk violence and controversial lockout laws, which forced nightclubs and bars to refuse entry after 1.30am.
But other than a visible ankle monitor, those days already seemed far behind Loveridge as he was seen exiting a hairdressing salon carrying a white plastic bag and strolling down the street beside the dark-haired woman, who pushed a pram, with the children, believed to be family members.

At one stage he was also seen stopping to speak with a bearded man with heavily tattooed legs and then walking beside one of the small children, who was wearing a pink windcheater.
One witness observed the children were happy to see him.
It's understood Loveridge has been looking for work since returning to society.
On his release Loveridge recently told the Daily Telegraph he was just a kid who 'messed up' by punching Thomas and had never meant to kill him.
'I was 18, I was still at school when that happened. I wasn't off the rails, I just went out and made a mistake,' he said.
'I went out that night and unfortunately I made a mistake, and I woke up going, "Far out, I'm going to jail".'
He said he was 'extremely remorseful' for his crime, something Thomas' parents do not believe.
'They have been there in court when I have said sorry to them.
