Victim of London riots succumbs to injuries

LONDON: A 68-year-old man who was badly beaten after he tried to put out a fire during the recent riots in London has died in hospital, British police said. Richard Mannington Bowes suffered head injuries in the attack, which took place in the west-London neighbourhood of Ealing on Monday night. He was left in a coma and placed on life support in hospital. Investigators are treating Bowes' death as a murder, and have identified a suspect on surveillance video they would like to speak with. The number of people killed in the unrest across Britain has now risen to five, with hundreds of others injured, including many police.
