An 18-year-old schoolboy  has died after he was punched by a club promoter after he shouted "one day you'll work for me" at the promoter.

The deceased, Archie Lloyd, a British student, was celebrating the end of his A-Levels in Malia when he became involved in an altercation and was struck by Sebastian Trabucatti, another Briton who was working on the Greek island as a club promoter.

The coroner has recorded a verdict of unlawful killing.

Witnesses said 18-year-old Mr Lloyd and best friend Andy Hutchinson "didn't want trouble" and tried to walk away, but were attacked by Sebastian Trabucatti who was accompanied by two women on mopeds

Mr Trabucatti remains on bail from the Greek authorities, having been charged with manslaughter after Mr Lloyd fell and hit his head after being punched and later died in his sleep.

Mr Hutchinson wept as he gave evidence and admitted the groups traded taunts but insisted there was no violence until Mr Trabucatti stopped his vehicle and began pushing the pair.

"The man pushed me. I lost my balance and swayed. I wasn't aware of Archie doing or saying anything,” Mr Hutchinson said, The Sun reported. “All this was over in 10 seconds.”

"They started to leave and I thought that was the end of it. Archie then shouted 'one day you'll work for me'.

"In a split second I saw one of the women raise her hands and point to Archie, she said: 'You deserved that.'
