(Google Streetview) A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has handed a six-year sentence to a Halifax man after a fatal altercation nearly four years ago, saying the 55-year-old's alcoholism fuels violent and out-of-control behaviour. Troy Edward William Clayton pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of Benjamin Lokeny, an acquaintance who died in 2017 after being punched and striking his head on a concrete sidewalk. "The problem is that [Clayton] has a disease — alcoholism," Associate Chief Justice Patrick Duncan said Friday as he read from his sentencing decision. "It contributes to his violent behaviour."
