    ... has been launched following a suspected fatal assault in London. The Met has launched the murder investigation after a man died in hospital days after he was reportedly assaulted in the Southwark area of the capital.

    Lewis Macleod, 36, of Hadleigh Road, Sunderland was charged with one count of causing grievous bodily harm and one count of actual bodily harm

    Officers were called shortly before 3am on Saturday, September 13th to reports of an altercation. They attended the scene alongside the London Ambulance Service, where a man was taken to a central London hospital in a life-threatening condition. He died on Wednesday, September 17th.


    He has been named as Michael John Edwards, 43, of Nuneaton, Warwickshire. His family are currently being supported by specialist officers.

    Sadly, I believe it may be related to the match.

    Not a good look in the week we also had a fan charged for racially abusing a Leeds player.

    12 hours before kick off.

    Could be related to anything for all we know when it’s that far away.

    On further look a report says they’d travelled for football, but maybe indirectly

    It was 3am, probably just two pissed up lads got into a scuffle and it's ended badly. It's why fighting is stupid, congrats to this guy for winning, his prize is twenty years in prison. At least he got to feel like a big man for a few minutes, though
