A man is due to appear in court in connection with the death of a pedestrian in Bow.

Ermir Loka, of Waltham Forest, has been charged with manslaughter and causing bodily harm by wanton/furious driving.

The 22-year-old is due to appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court today (Wednesday, July 29).

It comes after Peter McCombie, 72, died in hospital on July 11, a week after he was injured in a collision with a cyclist in Bow Road.
