   'While we were there, at about 2am, one of the policemen said: "I'm sorry to   
   have to tell you this, but he died." I was in floods of tears. None of us   
   expected that. I learned later that the man's name was Richard Whelan, that   
   he was 28 and that the incident that ended in his death started with a man   
   throwing chips at his girlfriend.'
