Family's fury as man accused of killing dad released on bail

Like many other Aussies, Paul Griffin went out to his local pub to enjoy Melbourne Cup Day festivities.

It was there he was struck in the head by alleged attacker Terekia Singapu.

Singapu is alleged to have fled the scene after the alleged assault and was charged with grievous bodily harm and assault causing death.

Despite facing 20 years in prison if found guilty of the charges, the judge released him on bail.

Paul's wife Robyn and his children are furious, saying they've been failed by the state's bail laws.
