Man, 93, dies after car park row Man, 93, dies after car park row
(about 7 hours later)
A murder inquiry has begun after a man died after what is believed to have been an argument over a parking space. A 93-year-old man has died following a row over parking in a car park on the outskirts of Plymouth.
A 93-year-old man was taken to Derriford hospital with a head injury after the incident at a Plymouth business park at 1600 GMT on Friday. Police said the elderly man was with his son when they got in to an argument with another man at the Lister Mill Business Park in Plympton, Devon.
Devon and Cornwall Police became involved when the elderly male deteriorated and he later died. The pensioner ended up on the ground with a head injury before being taken to hospital where he later died.
The victim gave a description of his attacker before his death and officers arrested a 50-year-old local man. Police said they were unsure whether the man was pushed or fell during the incident at about 1500 GMT on Friday.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which involved an argument between three men at Lister Mill Business Park in Lister Close, Plympton. 'Simple argument'
A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: "An altercation over parking is one line of inquiry being investigated," he said. Jim Webster, Ch Supt of Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "The pensioner was doing some business on Friday afternoon, out with his son on a quite ordinary day.
The arrested man is being held at Charles Cross police station, while police try to determine exactly what happened. "It appears it was a simple argument about a parking space." he added.
A post-mortem examination on the body of the 93-year-old will be carried out later. ""There's no indication at this stage that he was punched.
"It wasn't a violent argument but it ended up with the aged victim falling to the floor, being taken to hospital with a head injury where he deteriorated."
The 93-year-old from Beacon Park in the city died during the early hours of Saturday morning and officers launched a murder investigation.
A post-mortem examination showed the pensioner died from head injuries.
A 50-year-old man from Plymouth was arrested and taken for questioning at Charles Cross Police Station.
