A man in his 50s died following a brawl in a supermarket car park.

A group fight broke out in front of Tesco in Ware Road, Hertford, at around 20:15 GMT on Saturday.

The man suffered serious injuries and was admitted to hospital. He died five days later on Thursday.

Stuart Smith, 42, of Cromwell Road, Ware, Karen Lynn, 41, of Cromwell Road, Ware, and Charlie Penn, 20, of Cromwell Road, Ware, were charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

They have been remanded into custody ahead of a court appearance.

A 19-year-old woman, who was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, remains on police bail.

'Isolated incident'

An investigation was launched by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit (MCU).

Det Insp Iain MacPherson, from the MCU, said his thoughts were with the man's family and friends and he asked that their privacy was respected.

"We continue to investigate the circumstances around what happened and would once again urge any witnesses who haven't yet spoken to police to please come forward," he said.

"I'd also ask anyone who was driving in the area with a dash cam fitted to please check their footage and contact us if you have captured something of note."

He continued: "I understand that this news will have caused a great deal of concern among the local community. We believe those involved to be known to each other and are treating it as an isolated incident."
