Key quotes from McNeil's police interview

WHAT ONE-PUNCH KILLER SHAUN MCNEIL TOLD POLICE AFTER HIS FATAL BLOW TO 18-YEAR-OLD DANIEL CHRISTIE:

"They asked me if I wanted any pills or caps which is MDMA or ecstasy. And I said, `No', and they kept asking..."

(McNeil on the group of teenagers he had an initial row with before delivering the fatal punch to Daniel Christie.)

"It was an instinct, it was straight away, it was an upper cut."

(On the fatal punch.)

"(My girlfriend) was there with me and she had her tits out and everything and they were, they were looking at her tits so I just, it's just a protective instinct like anything ... You don't push my, any kind of missus."

(McNeil on the group of teenagers.)

"It's 40 seconds of just stupidity."

"I could have walked away, the stupid kids, but I didn't."

"I knew what I did and I hate myself for it straight away."

"I've had too much to drink and I will recognise that and I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
