A MURDER investigation has been launched following the death of a man, who police believe was assaulted in Bromley.

David Whitehead’s death at Kings College Hospital, Denmark Hill, today came eight days after police believe he was involved in a fight.

The 49-year-old went to hospital and received treatment for his injuries and was then readmitted on Saturday (November 3).

His next of kin have been informed and a post-mortem examination is set to take place in due course.

Police are not sure where the assault took place and are appealing for anyone with information to call 020 8721 4906.

Four men, aged 37, 41, 43 and 45, and a 30-year-old woman were arrested in connection with the investigation.

They have been bailed to early December pending further enquiries.
