A 19-year-old man who killed a woman when he threw a bottle into a crowded pub from which he had been barred, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to manslaughter.

一名19歲男子因為被阻擋進入一間擁擠的酒館，朝酒館內丟擲酒瓶，使一名女子喪命。他週二認了殺人罪。

Emma O’Kane, a 27-year-old mother of three, died after a shard of glass flew into her neck when the bottle shattered inside, Manchester Crown Court heard. She bled to death as the cut severed her jugular vein and an artery.

曼徹斯特刑事法院審案時得知，艾瑪．歐坎是一名27歲母親，育有3個小孩，當酒瓶在酒館內破碎時，一塊玻璃碎片飛插到她的頸部。由於傷口切斷她的頸靜脈與動脈，她流血過多致死。

The court heard that the death of O’Kane, who worked as a part-time barmaid at the Queen Anne Hotel in Heywood, was an "incredible mishap".

法院得知，在海伍德市安妮女王飯店擔任酒吧兼職女侍的歐坎之死，是一個「令人難以置信的災禍」。

Neil McNulty, from Heywood, was told he faced an "inevitable" custodial sentence after admitting causing the death last December.

來自海伍德市的尼爾．麥克納提，在承認造成去年12月這件命案後，被告知面臨「無可避免的監禁刑罰」。

O’Kane, who was not working at the time, was celebrating the birthday of her partner, Michael Shepherd, 38, whom she planned to marry.

當時沒在上班的歐坎，正慶祝38歲伴侶麥可．薛普的生日，此人也是她打算結婚的對象。

McNulty was also out enjoying birthday drinks but became abusive when he and his friends were not allowed into the pub.

麥克納提也是出來為慶生喝幾杯，但當酒館不准許他和其友人進入時，開始惡言相向。
