Newmarket Jockey Faces Murder Charge in Pensioner’s Death After Pub Brawl

Shocking news from Newmarket: 26-year-old jockey Levi Williams appeared in court, charged with the murder of 71-year-old pensioner Richard Wingrove following a pub brawl. 

The incident unfolded on March 8 outside the Waggon and Horses pub, where Williams allegedly punched Wingrove during a heated altercation involving four people. Police discovered Wingrove unconscious on the pavement, and despite medical efforts, he passed away 10 days later at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. Prosecutors have also added a manslaughter charge. Williams, visibly emotional during the hearing at Cambridge Crown Court, did not enter a plea.

The judge ordered him to remain in custody until his next hearing on June 27, with a trial scheduled for September. Once a rising star in horse racing, Williams’ career has been marred by challenges, including a prior suspension for drug-related issues. His mother shared that becoming a jockey was his lifelong dream, inspired by his childhood passion for the sport. This tragic case has stunned the local community, raising questions about the events leading to the fatal confrontation. 

As the legal process continues, authorities are piecing together the details of that fateful night. What led to this devastating outcome? Follow for updates on this developing story.
