A man who was previously charged with attempted murder will have his charge upgraded to murder.

This after a sixty-three-year-old Manchester farmer who he reportedly attacked, last month, died on Saturday.

Dead is Gregory Andrade, of cChudleigh District, Manchester.

Reports are that about 12:15 a.m., Andrade was allegedly attacked by his tenant – 30-year-old Toby Clarke.

Clarke reportedly used a knife to inflict wounds to Andrade’s head, right hand and right eye.

The police were summoned and Andrade was taken to hospital, where he was admitted in an unconscious state.

Clarke was charged with attempted murder in relation to the incident.

However, following Mr. Andrade’s death on Saturday, the police say preparations are underway for the charge to be upgraded to murder.
