The Metropolitan Police said Amithraz Balgobin, 36, of Woodbourne Avenue, Lambeth, was charged with murder and possession of Class A and Class B drugs on Sunday.

The London Ambulance Service called officers to an address in Streatham at around 1pm on Friday following reports that a man, 85, had suffered serious injuries.

He was found with a number of injuries and pronounced dead at the scene in Churchmore Road, the Metropolitan Police said.

Balgobin was arrested nearby and charged on Sunday, the force said.

The Metropolitan Police were called by London Fire Brigade to a multi-occupancy house in Glenister Park Road, Streatham, shortly after 7pm on Sunday, where they found a 49-year-old man dead inside.

On Monday a 34-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder and arson with intent to endanger life.

She remains in custody at a south London police station.

The man’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by family liaison officers.

Police have appealed for witnesses and said they are treating it as an isolated incident.
