An 87-year-old man was attacked in the street and left for dead for the sake of a box of cornflakes and a shepherd's pie, a court has heard.
John Mackey had visited a north London Co-op store where he bought food and a newspaper before visiting a kebab shop last Tuesday.
He was allegedly followed in the street and set upon when he reached Goodchild Road in Manor House.
Emergency services were alerted after he was found unconscious and bleeding from his head at around 5.53pm.
Mr Mackey was taken to hospital where he regained consciousness but died two days later.
