Staff Sergeant Chris Chacksfield and his wife Adele faced an unprovoked assault on Newgate Street whist on a night out in Newcastle last Monday which left Adele with facial injuries and Chris unconscious.
He never regained conciousness and passed away on Thursday.
His wife said, “With us both being in the Army, you are used to seeing traumatic things, so you don’t expect to be killed in an unprovoked attack in your own country.”
A 22 year-old man from Elswick in Newcastle's West End has been charged with GBH with intent and one charge of wounding.
Staff Sergeant Chacksfield has proudly served his country in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
To be murdered by one of the people he signed up to protect is a disgrace and the murder of a serviceman deserves the harshest available penalty - hopefully that will be a sentiment shared by the judge imposing a sentence when the perpetrator is found guilty.
