The parents of Eltham man Shannon McCormack – killed six years ago by a single punch to the head outside a nightclub – are "astounded" that no one has recognised the recently released image of the chief suspect.

The comments came during the ongoing Coroners Court inquest into the death.

Mr McCormack, 22, was punched near the QBH nightclub in Queensbridge Road, Southbank, at 4am on May 27, 2007. He was intervening in an argument between his friend and three men, including the suspect.

He suffered a severe head injury and died a week later in hospital.
