Man summoned to answer murder charge following death of Alexander Lloyd

A man has been summoned to court to answer a charge of murder in connection with an assault which resulted in the death of the victim more than 13 years later.

Bakri Siraj-Eldin, 79, of Mornington Crescent, Hove, East Sussex, is due to appear at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court today (Thursday, June 6).

In 2004, Mr Siraj-Eldin was convicted of wounding 23-year-old Alexander Lloyd with intent in an attack in Hills Road, Cambridge, the previous year and served a prison sentence.

However, in 2017, Mr Lloyd, who had suffered irreversible brain damage and paralysis as a result of the assault, died.
