A man has been charged with murder after a dad died in hospital days after an attack outside a pub.
Stuart Tickner, 50, lost his life five days after being found unconscious outside the Iron Horse.
He was found at the Sidcup pub on Monday, May 25, and was taken to hospital where he died on Saturday, May 30.
Now, a month later, 36-year-old Liam Burgess has been charged with murder and possession of a weapon in a private place.
Burgess, of Dovedale Close in Harefield, Uxbridge, appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Monday and is due to appear at the Old Bailey today.
Following Mr Tickner’s death, a fundraiser was set up by one of his friends who described him as “full of life”.
It says: “He made friends wherever he went and would always help anyone out. His loss is devastating for his mother, daughter and nephews along with his friends of which he had so many.
“Stuart sustained several head injuries which were so severe he could not recover from them. He succumbed to his awful injuries leaving his family and friends devastated.
“His distraught family really need some help regarding the funeral costs – money is tight and we really all want to give Stu the best send off possible – just as he would have wanted for all of us.
“The last thing his family need at this time is financial worry along with the other terrible burden they have to bear.
“The family would be so grateful for any donation no matter how small – it would mean the world to us all as we try to navigate our way in a world without our beloved Stuart.”
