A 12-year-old girl has been charged with manslaughter after the death of an 80-year-old man in Leicestershire.
Bhim Kohli died on September 2, a day after being attacked while walking his dog Rocky in Franklin Park in Brownstone Town.
The girl, who cannot be named because of her age, is due to appear at Leicester Youth Court at Leicester Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
A 15-year-old boy has previously been charged with Mr Kohli’s murder.
He is due to enter a plea at Leicester Crown Court on Wednesday, and a provisional trial date of February 17 has been set.
Leicestershire Police said the attack happened near the park’s Bramble Way entrance at around 18:30 BST on September 1.
A post-mortem examination revealed that Mr Kohli died of blunt force trauma to the neck.
In a statement his family described him as a “loving husband, father and grandfather”.
“Bhim loved to laugh,” he said.
“He was always very happy and talkative, the joker of the family and always liked to leave us with a smile.”
Due to the first police contact with the victim, Leicestershire Police made a voluntary referral to the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC).
After further communication with the IOPC, the force then made a mandatory referral.
“We will conduct a review to decide what further action may be required of us,” the IOPC spokesperson added.
