Man denies murdering pensioner in north London street robbery

Peter Augustine has denied murdering pensioner John Mackey during a street robbery in North London, raising serious concerns about safety in the area.

• On May 6, 2025, 87-year-old John Mackey was fatally injured during a robbery in Manor House, leading to charges of murder against 59-year-old Peter Augustine.
• At the Old Bailey, Augustine claimed he only took Mackeys bag and did not physically assault him, which raises questions about the evidence presented.
• The incident was captured on closed-circuit television, further complicating Augustines defense as the investigation continues into this tragic event in North London.
