Man dies days after yob attack

A MAN has died in hospital three days after yobs attacked him outside Brixton Academy.

The unnamed 32-year-old was left fighting for his life after being battered in the head in Stockwell Road, Brixton.

Cops confirmed he died at King's College Hospital in Denmark Hill on Saturday.

A post-mortem was due to take place yesterday.

Three unemployed men were arrested and charged in connection with the attack hours after it happened in the morning of September 12.

They appeared at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court on Friday accused of grievous bodily harm.

A file will be handed to the Crown Prosecution Service by police before a decision is made on whether to charge the trio with murder.

The defendants are Michael Wise, 45, of Jeffrey Road, Brixton; Clint Venter, 27, of Farnborough, Hampshire; and Lee Rice, 34, of St John's Crescent, Brixton.
