A man set alight in Staines earlier this month has died in hospital.

Charles Davies, 23 of Templedene Avenue, died from his injuries late last night.

He suffered from serious burns after he was set alight on June 14 in Templedene Avenue on the Royal estate.

On Monday, Nadim Kurrimbukus, 24 from Hounslow, appeared in Staines Magistrates' Court charged with attempted murder.

He is due to appear in Kingston Crown Court on July 7.

A Surrey Police spokesman said the investigation is now a murder investigation and an application will be made to the court to change the indictment to murder.
