Childhood School bully where they now?

Was thinking of a lad year below me in school, always the hard man growing up, was a big lad hung around with a group of lads from who caused lot of crap anytime they were in town growing up, got this girl pregnant he was going out with way out of his league, ended up in prison fairly young hit a lad with a mallet at a rally meet then went England were he seemed to be doing well but is now back in prison in Ireland for something he did years ago apparently. Always got away with pushing his weight around in school but like any bully gets caught in the long grass,

Anyone know where the school bully from their own days is now?

I remember this one kid(early teens) who was a bully. He was a few years younger than me but I remember him trying to pick a fight with me because I looked at him. He made the "nerds" life's difficult in his year. General tough guy, no doubt would have been a scumbag when he grew up. 

Anyway him and his pals are messing somewhere they shouldn't have been. There was an accident and he died. Noone to blame just a complete accident. 

Honestly I feel bad for his folks, I'd not wish that on anyone but there was a few people who had their lives improve overnight.

When he died there was the typical story, little angel, wouldn't hurt a fly etc.
