Man charged over west London pensioner murder

A 44 year-old man's been charged with murder, after a pensioner on a mobility scooter was fatally stabbed in west London.

Thomas O'Halloran - who was 87 - was attacked in Greenford on Tuesday.

Lee Byer, of Southall, west London, will appear before magistrates on Friday over the killing of Mr O'Halloran.

Mr O'Halloran, originally from Co Clare, in the west of Ireland, was a passionate musician and "very popular" in Greenford, often busking for charity.

Footage on social media shows Mr O'Halloran busking to raise money for Ukraine months before the killing.

Byer will appear before Willesden Magistrates Court.
