Two charged with murdering banker

Two men have been charged with the murder of a banker who died following a fight in Norwich city centre.

Brothers Tom, 21, and Ben Cowles, 20, of Beaumont Road, Costessey, near Norwich, have been charged with the murder of Frank McGarahan, 45.

They are due to appear before magistrates in Norwich on Friday.

Ben Cowles was also charged with three counts of assault relating to Mr McGarahan's cousin, his brother and a Lithuanian man.

On Wednesday detectives charged Daniel Moy, 21, also of Costessey, with assaulting Mr McGarahan's cousin in the incident which took place in the early hours of Sunday.

A police spokesman said: "The charge is not directly associated with the death of Frank McGarahan."

Mr Moy is due to appear before Norwich magistrates on 15 October.

Mr McGarahan, of Much Hadham in Hertfordshire, had been on a night out in Norwich before a family christening at the city's Roman Catholic Cathedral.

The father of two daughters was chief operating officer of Barclays Wealth and died at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge on Monday.

Post mortem tests revealed he died as a result of a "bleed to the brain", police said.

On Wednesday taxi drivers laid a floral tribute at the scene of the incident in Norwich city centre.
