Apprentice jockey Levi Williams has been charged with murder following an altercation in Newmarket on Saturday, March 8.

A fight between four men on the town's High Street resulted in two of them being taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. A 45-year-old man was released from hospital later that evening but a 71-year-old man, who had remained in intensive care in a critical condition, died subsequently on Tuersday, March 18.

A statement released by Suffolk Police on Wednesday read, “A 25-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of assault causing grievous bodily harm and subsequently bailed, was rearrested yesterday afternoon and taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning.

“Levi Williams, of Holland Park, Newmarket, has subsequently been charged with murder. He was remanded in custody and is due to appear before Ipswich Magistrates' Court today, Wednesday 19 March.

“A 23-year-old man who was also arrested on suspicion of assault causing grievous bodily harm; and a 45-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of affray; both remain on police bail until 5 June and 9 June respectively.”

Williams, who is apprenticed to trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam, has ridden 12 winners since his first race ride in 2017.
