Detectives investigating the murder last week of Zdeněk Makar in east London have charged a 29-year-old man.
Raymond Sculley, of Sherman House, Poplar, will appear at Thames magistrates court on Monday charged with 31-year-old Zdeněk’s murder in East India Dock Road on Wednesday 21 September.
Two others arrested on Friday – a 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy – have been released on bail pending further inquiries. Both are due to return to a police station in east London on dates in early October.
Makar, 31, was pronounced dead in the street near the All Saints Docklands light railway station in Poplar on Wednesday night, the Metropolitan police said. His death reportedly followed a row in a chicken takeaway shop in east London.
A postmortem examination on Friday revealed that Makar died from head injuries.
