Beating death suspect says he was provoked

The teenager suspected in the death of a man outside gay bar said he only punched the victim after the man grabbed his buttocks and crotch, according to an arrest affidavit filed by D.C. detectives.

One of three witnesses corroborated the version offered by Robert Lee Hannah, the 18-year-old charged last week with voluntary manslaughter in the beating death of Tony Randolph Hunter.
