A man has been charged with the murder of Leslie Smith, who was found dead two years ago inside his Norwich flat.

The body of the 63 year old was found inside his home in Suffolk Square on October 17 2021.

His death was initially treated as unexplained until a post mortem revealed he'd received a fatal injury to his neck.

Detectives have been working to establish the circumstances surrounding his death since.

41 year old Theodore Lynch, of HMP High Wells, has now been charged with the murder of Leslie Smith.

He will appear before Norwich Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.
