The Ealing resident who was left fighting for his life has died. Richard Mannington Bowes was attacked after trying to put out a fire near the Arcadia shopping centre and confronting rioters. A 22-year-old man has been arrested.
The 68-year-old suffered ‘severe’ head injuries and died last night. His next of kin has been informed. Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane, of the Met’s Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: “This was a brutal incident that resulted in the senseless killing of an innocent man.”
“I still need the assistance of the community who may have witnessed the attack to come forward and provide information or images they may have recorded on mobile devices.
“This information could be crucial in catching his killer.”
Scotland Yard said that officers had given Mr Mannington Bowes first aid despite missiles being rained down on them.
