A man will appear at Teesside Crown Court today (20 November) for a preliminary hearing for the alleged murder of George Francis Kidson from Sowerby, Thirsk.
Ryan Brady Campbell, a 29-year-old local man, was previously charged with attempted murder. The charges against Campbell were changed following the subsequent death of Mr Kidson on 9 November at James Cook Hospital.
Mr Kidson, 85, was found with serious injuries at a property in Sowerby, Thirsk on 5 November 2015.
