He was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich, with serious injuries and pronounced dead four hours later. His wife Anne gave evidence of identification before the inquest was adjourned until March next year.

Police are appealing for witnesses. Anyone with information should call 020 8285 1574 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to remain anonymous.
