He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

They were all remanded in custody. A plea and trial preparation hearing was set for Wednesday, March 30 and a trial date provisionally set for Monday, June 27, both at St Albans Crown Court.
Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins, from the BCH Major Crime Unit said: “We have now charged six people with murder, but my team are still keen to hear from any witnesses or anyone with information.
“Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any information, no matter how small it might seem, it could be vital for our investigation.”
