An 87-year-old 'charming' man who died after being robbed 'for his cornflakes' in north London was an Arsenal fan and an uncle of 22.
John Mackey had visited a Co-op store where he bought food and a newspaper before visiting a kebab shop on Tuesday May 6, when he was attacked shortly before 6pm.
The attacker allegedly made off with the victim's black duffel bag containing his cornflakes, shepherd's pie and newspaper.
Emergency services rushed to the scene on Goodchild Road, Manor House and found Mr Mackey unconscious and bleeding from his head.
He was taken to hospital where he regained consciousness but died two days later.
