Leicestershire Police said a 14-year-old boy remains in police custody, while four other children have been released with no further action.
Four of the five children arrested on suspicion of the murder of an 80-year-old man have now been released. The youngsters were detained following the death of Bhim Kohli, who was attacked in a park in Braunstone Town, on the outskirts of Leicester. Mr Kohli, who was walking his dog in Franklin Park, was seriously assaulted on Sunday and died in hospital on Monday evening. A post-mortem examination found he died due to a neck injury, pending further tests.
He was described as being 'very fit' and used to spend a lot of time on his allotment. The victim's daughter told LeicestershireLive on Monday that she found him lying on the ground after hearing something outside her house. She said her father was 'seconds' from home when the attack happened. 'He was lying under the tree and at first he was complaining about his neck and now he's not able to move his legs,' she said.
