A 20-year-old man, Brodie Dewar, is sentenced to a suspended prison term after a “coward punch” outside the Kalamunda Hotel in Perth on Christmas Day. According to court accounts reported by both outlets, Dewar struck a man outside the venue and then taunted him while the victim was unconscious. One report says the attack was linked to Dewar’s claim that the victim was “hitting on my younger sister,” while the other describes the incident as a punch followed by online-style taunting after the man was left incapacitated.
Both sources indicate that while Dewar does not face immediate jail time, the sentence includes a suspended component, reflecting the court’s finding of serious offending. The reports also describe Dewar as an apprentice at the time of the incident. Details including the length of the suspended sentence are not stated in the excerpts provided, but both accounts agree on the core facts: the location and date, the nature of the assault, and that Dewar’s conduct after the punch forms part of the case before sentencing.
