2022-08-19
[GBNews] A west London man has appeared in court charged with the murder of pensioner Thomas O'Halloran, who was fatally stabbed on his mobility scooter

Lee Byer, 44, appeared briefly at Willesden Magistrates Court in north London on Friday.

Wearing a prison-issue grey tracksuit, he spoke only to confirm his name, his date of birth and that he had no fixed address.

He is charged with murdering 87-year-old Mr O’Halloran, as he drove his mobility scooter along Western Avenue in Greenford, next to the busy A40.

Byer is also charged with possession of a knife.

The incident happened at around 4pm on Tuesday.

After being stabbed in the chest, the pensioner managed to drive his mobility scooter for another 75 metres, until he came across members of the public who tried to help.

Despite the efforts of paramedics and the London Air Ambulance, Mr O’Halloran, originally from County Clare in the west of Ireland, was pronounced dead at the scene.
