London riots: pensioner who confronted rioting yobs dies after life support machine is switched off
Richard Mannington Bowes, 68, died from head injuries days after the attack in Ealing, west London on Monday night.
He was pictured lying face down in a pool of blood after being assaulted while trying to stop youths setting fire to large rubbish bins across the green from the flat where he lived alone.
The suspect was held in west London on suspicion of murder, rioting and carrying out three burglaries, Scotland Yard said.
It has emerged that Mr Mannington Bowes was a recluse who was tormented by youths repeatedly urinating and throwing litter in the street outside his home.
(…)
Neighbours said he was a man of “old-fashioned values” and had a history of confronting anti-social behaviour in the area, regularly reprimanding youths for littering in the alley outside his flat.
