He died following an alleged attack while walking his dog in a park in Leicestershire on Sunday
A 14-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of 80-year-old grandfather Bhim Kohli, who was attacked while walking his dog in a park in Leicestershire on Sunday, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
Andrew Baxter, deputy chief crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has reviewed a file of evidence from Leicestershire Police and has authorised a charge of murder against a 14-year-old boy in relation to the death of Bhim Sen Kohli. “The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are now active and that the youth has a right to a fair trial.“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”The alleged attack happened close to the park entrance in Bramble Way and a group of young people fled the scene before emergency services arrived, Leicestershire Police said.
A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of a neck injury, pending further tests. Police want to speak to anyone who was in the park or the area of Bramble Way between 6pm and 6.45pm on Sunday.
