A father tragically lost his life after being assaulted during an argument over queue jumping at a south east London supermarket. The victim, Andrew Clark, was struck by Demiesh Williams after politely asking him to wait his turn. Williams then returned to the store and hit Mr. Clark with force, causing him to fall and sustain fatal head injuries.
Mr. Clark's family shared heart-wrenching statements in court, with his 14-year-old daughter expressing that her life was destroyed. She conveyed that she would never forgive Williams for taking her father, describing him as her best friend and lamenting the future moments he would miss, including her wedding day.
Williams, a father-of-three, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and will be sentenced soon. The judge indicated that a lengthy custodial sentence is expected for the crime, which has left a family in mourning and a community shocked.
