Demiesh Williams walks calmly back into Beckenham store before launching fatal assault on father
CCTV footage reveals the horrifying moment Demiesh Williams, 30, coolly strolls back into a Sainsbury’s in Beckenham, southeast London, only to attack a dad over a queue row — a blow that would soon prove fatal.
Fatal supermarket showdown over queue jumping
Williams was sentenced today to five years and three months in prison for the manslaughter of Andrew Clark, 43, a hard-working family man.
The court heard Clark confronted Williams after he tried to jump the queue at the tills. The attacker left the store but returned from his car with a face covering on before violently slapping Clark.
“Mrs Clark saw the defendant coming towards her husband. He was striding with intent – striding towards him,” Richardson said.

Despite Williams’ claim denying intent to murder, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He will serve at least two-thirds of his sentence before possible release on licence.
Clark’s death is a brutal reminder of how a minor argument can explode into deadly violence.
