Steven Ling, 38, says he was 'panicking' and 'scared' when he attacked Mateusz Chojnowski, 28, in Doncaster.
A father-of-four who kicked to death a man he caught breaking into his car has said he is "devastated and ashamed" by his actions.
Mr Ling, who ran a waste disposal business before selling it for more than £1m last year, told the court he had left £1,000 in cash and his passport under the dashboard.After drinking for about seven hours and taking cocaine supplied by a friend, Mr Ling returned to his car at about 02:30 BST to find the light on and Mr Chojnowski in the driver's seat, the court heard.
Mr Ling denied attacking Mr Chojnowski in "retribution" for him stealing his money and said he only realised the £1,000 was missing when returned to his car.
