UK Homicide Caused by. . . The Riddler?

Police search for suspect after a nightclub altercation leaves a teenager dead.

Nathan Allen, 19, from the Skerne Park area of Darlington suffered head injuries at Inside Out, in Beaumont Street, Darlington last Sunday.

Police believe the teenager received his injuries after he fell down the club's stairs when attempting to re-enter following an altercation with another man, who was dressed as The Riddler from the film Batman Forever.

The teenager died from his injuries on Saturday, November 7th.

Local law enforcement is appealing for information regarding the incident.

Anyone who saw the incident or the events leading up to it is asked to call Darlington police on 01325-742148 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555-111.

MPP - I know CBM.com has a large UK fanbase, hopefully one of you guys can help.

	Batman inspires real world crime more than any other comic story. Batman is the most pupular comic book adaptation and the most unique and realistic, it's not that hard to imitade a joker, a riddler or a catwoman, I Won't say the same about Green Goblin or Sandman brazilianbatman - 11/8/2009, 11:54 AM
