A man has appeared in court charged with the manslaughter of 23 year-old David Joslin, who suffered a fatal head injury when punched to the ground while acting as peacemaker after his Christmas works party.
Barry Oliver, 29, of Littleton Avenue, Chingford, was remanded in custody at Waltham Forest Magistrates’ Court to appear at the Old Bailey on April 8.
On December 20, last year the deceased (pictured) became involved in a confrontation at 1.30am involving two groups of people outside jewellers ‘Strictly Silver’ in Old Church Road, Chingford.
Witnesses claim David tried to calm things down, but was knocked unconscious and taken to Whipps Cross Hospital before being transferred to Holborn’s National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery where he died on December 27.
A post-mortem at East Ham Mortuary the next day gave the cause of death as head injuries.
A homicide incident room was opened at Barking Police Station under Detective Chief Inspector John Macdonald and an unnamed man and woman have been bailed until February pending further enquiries.
