Kerry Kourpanidis pleads guilty to manslaughter of Warren Hordpenko after Kingston Hotel killing in 2020
Canberra man Kerry Kourpanidis has pleaded guilty to manslaughter after attacking another man at the Kingston Hotel last year.
Key points:
- Kerry Kourpanidis punched Warren Hordpenko repeatedly in the head during a dispute at the pub last year
- He left the hotel before an ambulance was called and Hordpenko died shortly after
- Kourpanidis was initially charged with murder but has now pleaded guilty to manslaughter
The 36-year-old was originally charged with murder after his assault on Warren Hordpenko, 44, in the hotel’s pool room in July 2020.
Court documents reveal Kourpanidis had been at the pub with his partner, six-year-old daughter and another person in the hours before the attack.
During that time, the pair crossed paths.
