Man jailed for life for murder after victim dies 16 years later
Original: Man jailed for life for murder after victim dies from epileptic fit 16 years on from London attack https://www.standard.
A man has been jailed for life for murder in a London case in which the victim died from an epileptic fit brought on by an attack that happened 16 years earlier, in Lewisham. The conviction shows that a death linked long after the fact to an assault can still result in a murder verdict.
Why now: The unusual 16-year gap between the attack and the victim's death makes the case striking and widely discussed.
