Murder squad arrests woman after car mows down reveller

Bozidar Misic |
MURDER squad detectives last night (Wednesday) arrested a
woman in connection with the death of a man mowed down by a car
in Swiss Cottage.
The suspect, who is in her 20s, was being held in custody at a
police station in Essex by officers investigating the death of
Bozidar Misic.
Detectives have previously released three male suspects on bail.
Mr Misic, 29, lost his three-day fight for life at the Royal Free
Hospital in Hampstead yesterday (Wednesday) morning.
He sustained serious head injuries when he was knocked down by
a red Vauxhall Corsa in Finchley Road in the early hours of Sunday.
A post mortem at St Pancras Mortuary to find the precise cause
of death is due to take place this morning (Thursday).
Mr Misic, from Ealing, had been drinking with two friends in the
Walkabout pub in the O2 Centre.
Detectives believe he became embroiled in an argument with a woman
and a group of male friends. Outside the bar, another row followed
further down Finchley Road, at the junction of Fairfax Road, where
a mixed group of ten people were in dispute.
Mr Misic walked away from the argument but as he stepped into
the bus lane running close to Marks and Spencer he was attacked
in the street and later hit by the car.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve Morris said: We know that
Finchley Road was busy at the time of the final attack as a large
group was watching what was happening. We would like to hear from
anyone who was in this group. We would also like to hear from
anyone who had been in the Walkabout pub in the O2 centre on the
night of Saturday 5th February and who may have been in the Finchley
Road between midnight and 1am.
We are also appealing to the two friends who were with
Bozidar, we have not spoken to them and at this time we do not
know who they are, only that they live locally, but it is vitally
important that they speak to us.
He added: It is possible that passing drivers may have also
seen what happened and might have mistaken it for a road traffic
collision and we would also like to hear from any drivers who
would have been on Finchley Road between midnight and 1am.
