A 98-year-old World War Two veteran who was attacked and robbed in his home has died in hospital.

Peter Gouldstone was found with bruising and a head injury at a house in Evesham Road, in the Bounds Green area of north London, on 6 November.

Mr Gouldstone was left suffering severe injuries including two bleeds to the brain and extensive bruising on his body in the attack, described by police as "brutal and senseless".

He died in the early hours of Friday. A post-mortem examination will be held later, the Met Police said.

Mr Gouldstone's TV had been taken from his house and there was evidence of a disturbance, detectives said. No one has been arrested so far.

Mr Gouldstone was fighting for his life in hospital for almost four weeks after his son found him beaten and in a "semi-conscious" state.

Simon Gouldstone said his father was house-bound and suffered from a heart condition.

He described him as "a low key, peaceful and supportive sort of person" who lived in "a fairly peaceful neighbourhood".

Det Insp Paul Ridley urged anyone with information about the "despicable" crime to contact police.

"I particularly want to hear from people that may have been offered the Panasonic television that was stolen, or who saw either people or vehicles in the vicinity of Evesham Road that may have appeared out of place," he said.

He held on for several weeks. Talk about a real soldier.

Pretty sure that's the exact antithesis to how the law works.

Nah. Just find them, shoot them in the head and bury them in a landfill.

What a p**** ass bitch. The death penalty is too lenient a sentence for this fuck. Hope they catch his ass.

Nobody needs a gun, am I right? Just give the intruder what he wants and everything will be fine. Right?

Guy was 98 years young and suffered from heart conditions.

I know you want to get your argument on because you're a contarian but I really don't think a gun would have made a difference here.

I'd have to question whether or not he'd even be quick enough to use it. Dude was 98 and probably couldn't move very well as it is.

So if he shot the intruder, it wouldn't have made a difference?

If tigers had jumped in and ate the intruder it would have made a difference.

I don't think it would happen tho

This isn't even the pot calling the kettle black, this is the pot telling the kettle that it's a pot. Imagine being stupid enough to call someone a contrarian, and misspelling it, after making this post:
