A man has denied murdering Thomas O'Halloran, an 87-year-old grandfather on an e-scooter, who was stabbed to death in the street in an unprovoked attack
Lee Byer, 44, appeared at the Old Bailey accused of killing Thomas O'Halloran in Greenford in west London on August 16.
He managed to travel 75 yards or so on his mobility scooter to Runnymede Gardens, where he flagged down a member of the public for help. At a hearing on Friday at the Old Bailey, Byer stood in the dock as he pleaded not guilty to both charges.Judge Mark Lucraft KC set a pre-trial hearing for February 13 next year.
Mr O’Halloran’s younger brother George said after his death: “He loved to play music. He did not drink or smoke but he could sit in a bar all night long with a bottle of Coke and listen to the band.”He added: “At that stage in life, to reach 87 is a feat in itself, but to be taken away from his direct family and his extended family here in Ireland, it’s senseless.”
