Jantilal Deugi died after suffering a cardiac arrest

A 22-year-old man has been charged with manslaughter after another man suffered a cardiac arrest and died following a street fight.

Jantilal Deugi, 50, was found on the ground by officers in Redcar Road, Leicester, at 15:30 BST on Sunday.

He died two days later, leading to the re-arrest of a man previously arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.

Yashvant Pranlal, 22, of Green Lane Road, has been remanded in custody after appearing before magistrates.

He is due to appear at Leicester Crown Court on 6 July.
