Overview

• On June 24, Judge Benedict Kelleher sentenced Miles to eight years behind bars and an extended licence after finding him guilty of manslaughter.
• Miles followed 28-year-old Samuel Winter through the barriers at Southwark Underground station, grabbed him, ripped his top and landed a single punch that caused a fatal brain injury.
• Paramedics performed CPR on Winter, a qualified physiotherapist and AI engineer, but he died two days later at a London hospital.
• British Transport Police officers traced Miles by tracking his Oyster card usage and arrested him near the station the morning after the attack.
• Detective Chief Inspector Paul Attwell said the sentence demonstrates zero tolerance for violence on the railway and praised his team’s swift work securing justice.
