The mother of a man who was attacked and left in the street to die is calling for a law to be introduced that she said could have saved him. <\/b><\/p>\n
Emma Daniels said “nobody stopped to help” her son Matthew Schofield after he was assaulted in Leicester in 2023.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old was found in Belgrave Road in the early hours of 11 June, before being pronounced dead<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mrs Daniels said her son “dying alone” was one of the most difficult things she had to accept.<\/p>\n A murder investigation into Mr Schofield’s death is ongoing, with a total of 16 people arrested in connection with his death. Nobody has been charged.<\/p>\n Now Mrs Daniels wants to introduce a law that would mean people have a duty to stop and help someone who appears to be in physical danger, without risking their own safety. <\/p>\n She said the proposed bill, which she calls Matthew’s Law, would mean people have a legal duty to call for professional help for a person in danger, or face legal implications for ignoring them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
