An 80-year-old man who was attacked by a young woman in Coventry city centre has died.

The teenager responsible for assaulting Joginder Singh in Trinity Street could now face new charges.

Mr Singh, aged 80, of Cannon Park, died on Sunday.

He had been pushed to the ground in Trinity Street on August 10. The incident was caught on camera and shown on the internet.

Coral Millerchip, 19, has already admitted a charge of assault, and will be sentenced after a separate matter has been concluded.

That hearing is likely to be subject to significant delays now that Mr Singh has passed away.

Det Chief Insp Matt Markham from Coventry CID, said: “Following the assault Mr Singh was readmitted to hospital and was being treated for a diagnosed condition and at this stage it is unclear if that is directly connected with the assault.“

Our thoughts remain with the family and those affected by Mr Singh’s death and we will continue to work with CPS and the coroner to establish the cause of death.“

Specialist family liaison police officers have been appointed to liaise with Mr Singh’s next of kin and we will continue to support the family at this sad time.

”Mr Singh was reported to be “fighting for his life” when Millerchip first appeared in Coventry Magistrates Court in August.

During the hearing prosecutor Pamela Meinert said that Mr Singh was in a critical condition in hospital.

She added that it was not known whether his condition was anything to do with the attack.

Mr Singh was discharged from hospital after the attack but was later re-admitted for treatment of a previously diagnosed condition.

A post-mortem examination of Mr Singh’s body, carried out on Monday, was inconclusive.

Further tests are now being carried out to try and establish what caused his death.

Detectives have notified the Crown Prosecution Service who will now make a decision on what further action will be taken.

Police say any further court hearing is likely to be delayed until next year.

Responding to Mr Singh’s death Coun Harjinder Singh Sehmi said: “It’s really bad news - an extremely sad day for the community.

“She (Coral Millerchip) has already admitted that she attacked Mr Singh - there’s nothing more that can be said really.

“Any decision about what happens now is in the hands of the Crown Prosecution Service and ultimately the courts.

”The attack was caught on camera with thousands of people viewing the video and commenting on what they saw."

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Sad news...

In the UK the mens rea (Latin for "guilty mind") of murder is either an intention to kill or an intention to cause grievous bodily harm (which is clear from the evidence).

The woman in question should be tried for murder and this case should be a warning for all those using violence against others.

Please support the family (and publish any funeral/ path details).

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
