LONDON: A 14-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of the murder of 80-year-old Bhim Sen Kohli, who died following an assault while out walking his dog in a park near Leicester, remains in police custody for questioning on Wednesday.

Leicestershire Police said a girl aged 14 and a boy and two girls aged 12, also arrested on suspicion of murder, have now been released with no further action. A post-mortem examination carried out on Kohli after he died in hospital on Monday night confirmed the cause of death was a neck injury, with further tests pending.

“The circumstances surrounding Mr Kohli’s death are extremely tragic and upsetting not only for his family and friends but also the wider community,” said Detective Inspector Emma Matts, Senior Investigating Officer at Leicestershire Police.
