A 14-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of an 80-year-old man in a Leicestershire park.
BBC reports that Bhim Kohli died on Monday after an attack at Franklin Park in Braunstone Town while walking his dog on Sunday.
The Suspect, a teenager who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been remanded into custody.
Report says the 80 year old Kohli was seriously injured just seconds away from his home in Braunstone Town and died later in hospital.
The Suspect is due to appear at Leicester Youth Court, sitting at Leicester Magistrates' Court, later.
It was learnt that a post-mortem showed Kohli had died of a neck injury.
Meanwhile, Family and friends have brought a number of floral tributes laid at the scene.
Paying tribute earlier in the day, Mr Kohli’s family said "our hearts have been completely broken".
They added: "Bhim was a loving husband, dad and grandad. He was also a son, brother and uncle.
"He adored his grandkids with all his heart and loved spending time with them. He really was such a loving, caring person whose life was centred around his family.
"He has always been a very hardworking man and even at the age of 80 he was still very active.
"One of his great passions was his allotment, he would go every day to tend to his plots and was so proud of them.
He also enjoyed walking the family dog Rocky on the park many times a day.
"Bhim loved to laugh. He was always very happy and talkative, the joker of the family and always loved to outsmart us with a smile."
“Our family have lived in the same house in Braunstone for 40 years, so he was very well known in the community – we have been overwhelmed by the messages and support from many who knew him.
“Our hearts have been completely broken. We are now pulling together as a family to try and support each other through the most difficult time imaginable and would ask for privacy while we do this.”
According to the daugher, Kohli had lived in the area for 40 years.
Kohli’s neighbour Deep Kalia told the Mirror “His family are devastated. He was a skinny, fit man who was always at the allotment across the road from his house. He has two boys and a daughter, all grown up, and two grandsons.
“He had a factory in Leicester making jumpers and cardigans but retired many years ago. It’s tragic what happened.”
Four other children - a girl aged 14 and one boy and two girls aged 12 on Tuesday were arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the attack.They were later released with no further action.
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."
