A second person has been charged after a pensioner was fatally stabbed in the neck and chest in Catford.

Leroy Junior Edwards, 66, died in hospital a short time after being found in a multi-occupancy in Ringstead Road (August 18).

Aaron Woolcock, 27, from Lewisham, appeared in Willesden Magistrates' Court charged with his murder.

This comes one month after Kerry Donovan, 29, of Southend-on-Sea, was also charged with the killing.

The pair will stand trial from February 12.
