A BOY of 15 appeared in court yesterday charged with the manslaughter of a Polish man.
The death of Arkadiusz Jozwik, 40, in August was first thought to be a possible hate crime but it is understood that prosecutors are not treating it as such.
Police said Mr Jozwik was felled by a single punch and hit his head as he fell outside shops in Harlow, Essex. He died two days later.
