A man has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing his mother in Plumstead, southeast London.
Doris Innes, 84, was found with serious injuries on Wednesday and taken to hospital, where she died.
Giorgio Pin, 62, has been charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Police were called to Red Lion Place at 8.50am on Wednesday after reports of a man with a knife.
They arrested a man shortly after 9.10am – he was taken to a police station and then to hospital, where he received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers found another two victims who were threatened with a knife close to where Ms Innes was found but they did not suffer any injuries.
Pin, of Woolwich, has been remanded into custody and will appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Saturday April 4.
Detective Inspector Dean Grice, who led the Metropolitan Police’s investigation, described the case as ‘a deeply tragic incident’, adding ‘our thoughts remain firmly with the victim’s family during this difficult time’.
