Sadly, despite the best efforts of medical staff, 49-year-old Beimnet Gebreab, of Newcastle, died as a result of his injuries and a murder investigation was subsequently launched.

A man was arrested on suspicion of murder and was brought into police custody. The man arrested - Yasim Ismael, 38, of Dilston Road, Newcastle – has since been charged with Beimnet’s murder. He will appear before magistrates in Newcastle on Wednesday, November 16.

Yesterday Detective Chief Inspector Angela Hudson, of Northumbria Police, said: “This is a serious incident which has sadly resulted in a man’s death and we are determined to establish exactly what happened. We have launched a full investigation and have arrested one man as part of our enquiries. At this early stage, we believe all parties were known to each other and that there is no wider risk to the public.
