A man has been charged with murdering a pensioner who was found with a head injury on Monday.
Sable Thomas, 42, of Dalmeny Road, is due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday over the death of 79-year-old Anthony Rooks.
Mr Rooks was found collapsed with a head injury at a property in Dalmeny Road, Tufnell Park, north London, at around 7.20pm on Monday.
