Son accused of battering dad to death with champagne bottle says he was attacked first

A court has heard how a drunken man battered his father to death with a bottle of Bollinger after the pensioner discovered his son’s secret booze stash.

Deekan Vig, 54, was found lying on the floor naked amongst 100 bottles of champagne next to his dead father, Arjan Singh Vig, 86, at the family home in Southgate, north London.

Giving evidence wearing a grey tracksuit, Vig described how his father, furious at his son’s drinking, had brandished a bottle of bubbly at him during a fight on 30 October 2021.
