Countries: Hungary

Tommie Harley

Former lifeguard, of Lavender Street, Stratford. In the early hours of October 23, after an argument outside the Ram pub, Canning Town, he was beaten with a brick and died in hospital some days later.  His traditional Hungarian funeral was attended by over 600 people.

Four months earlier another violent incident had taken place at the same location, involving the man later convicted of killing Harley. But it seems the pub was allowed to continue operating.
