Two charged with murder of Ashford father
Comments |
Two men
have been charged with murder following the death of father-of-six
Paul Hopkins (left).
Christopher Goldfinch and Scott Stevens, both 22, had originally
faced grievous bodily harm charges.
But both were accused of Mr Hopkins' murder when they appeared
at Ashford Magistrates Court on Thursday.
They were remanded in custody and will appear at Maidstone Crown
Court on December 14.
Mr Hopkins, 32, suffered serious head injuries and had been in a
coma since an incident outside his home in Beecholme Drive,
Kennington, on August 2.
His death in the Kent and Canterbury Hospital on November 23 had
been confirmed by the Crown Prosecution Service at a hearing at
Maidstone Crown Court last week.
Goldfinch, of Falcon Way, South Ashford, and Stevens, of
Augustus Walk Kingsnorth, had originally been charged with grevious
bodily harm with intent and an alternative charge of inflicting
grevious bodily harm.
