On Friday 9th October, a 22-year-old man pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his friend’s 50-year-old father who died after being “pushed” to the ground during an argument.
Yashvant Pranlal, 22, was initially arrested on suspicion of Grievous Bodily Harm. He was later charged with manslaughter of Jentilal Deugi after being involved in a disagreement with a group of men in Redcar Road, Belgrave, Leicester. Jentilal died at Leicester Royal Infirmary two days after suffering a cardiac arrest caused by a brain injury he sustained in the row in Leicester.
Now, Yashvant has admitted to the offence at Leicester Crown Court and is expected to be sentenced on 16th October.
Leicestershire Police said Mr Deugi had been involved in a disagreement with a group of men in Redcar Road when he was pushed.
In a statement, Det Insp Jonathan Blockley said, "There are certainly no winners in this case. One family has lost their loved one and another will now face a considerable amount of time without their family member. One push led to the end of a life. My sympathies go to Mr Deugi's family, they have shown immense dignity throughout the investigation and this was in no way easy for them."
