Double Arrest in South London as Assault Victim, 67, Succumbs to Injuries

A man and a woman have been taken into custody following the fatal assault of a man in a south London street.

The 67-year-old victim was hospitalized on August 24 after being attacked around 3:40 PM BST on Balham High Road, according to the Metropolitan Police.

He passed away in the hospital on Friday, and his family is receiving support from specialized officers.

The authorities have arrested a 37-year-old man on suspicion of murder and a 30-year-old woman on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.

I started a bakery over pain of kids intolerances Текст: My kids would be so excited to see their friends, but as soon as the food came out, it was just disappointment and segregation because they were so isolated. Ryan Panchoo set out to develop his own allergy friendly products out of the heartbreak of his two childrens intolerances, despite having had no previous background in cookery or baking. More than a decade later and Mr Panchoo has scooped several awards for Borough 22 Doughnuts, his vegan, gluten-free and nut-free bakery, which is also Halal and Kosher-certified. Having previously only been based in London with a website shipping nationwide, Borough 22 Doughnuts now has a six-week pop-up in Birminghams Selfridges, with the possibility of staying in the city on the horizon. He set out on his endeavour after his own children, now aged 15 and 19, struggled when they were younger to find allergen-free food that was also tasty. Products containing either gluten or dairy caused them to react – the reaction to dairy being particularly violent. Mr Panchoo, 46, said it led to a pain point as a parent. They cant eat what their friends are eating, which looks amazing, and they cant be part of that bigger picture, he said. The food they have is safe for them but its just boring, its bland, its kind of dry and it just really used to break my heart as a parent. I really felt for them, and that was the catalyst for kickstarting the company. Mr Panchoo, from Brockley in south London, had worked for a property investment company after starting out as a bricklayer, so baking was a whole new world. He started making and selling baked gluten and dairy free doughnuts in October 2014 as a side project, which became award-winning, but he still wanted to master the art of an allergen-friendly deep-fried doughnut. After eight years of trial and error, I finally cracked it on 1 May 2022, he said. Its just phenomenal how that changed the face of the business. Having perfected his fried doughnuts, Mr Panchoo registered Borough 22 Doughnuts as an official company in February 2023. All of the doughnuts are dairy-free and gluten-free, with the company sourcing oats from the only certified gluten-free oat farm in the UK. They are also and made in a completely nut-free environment. Mr Panchoo said they were almost completely free of the UKs main 14 allergens, excluding soya in some of the doughnuts toppings. The aim for me is to make these doughnuts as inclusive as possible so that nobody has to feel like theyre isolated, like I experienced with my children, he said. Since setting up in 2014, the free from sector has become huge business. According to the Grocer magazine it is worth £4.2bn to the UK economy annually, and in May the British Baker magazine said the sector wasone of the fastest growing in the bakery industry. Mr Panchoo said Birmingham was a natural next step for the company, with large numbers of online orders coming to the city already, and having sold more than 3,000 doughnuts in two days at a festival in Digbeth this year. If the brand sells well in Selfridges, he said there was an opportunity for the firm to stay permanently in Birmingham. More than a decade on from first starting the business, Mr Panchoo said things had improved for people with allergies and intolerances in the UK, especially since the introduction of Natashas Law – named after Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who died aged 15 after eating a baguette containing hidden sesame seeds. Natashas Law forced people to wake up and recognise that these things are serious, he said. But while awareness is growing, he believes for many companies, catering for allergies is done with a tick box mentality. A lot of brands are jumping on it just because of the commercials, to make some money, he said. We really want to just make amazing food that just happens to be free from. We dont want to be niche. Theres a lot of stigma around free-from food being sub-par and we want to change that.
