A man has been charged with murder after a woman was found dead in east London.

The 35-year-old victim was discovered at a flat in Crowder Street, Whitechapel, on Friday afternoon.

Police attended after receiving a call concerning the welfare of a female resident.

Although she has yet to be formally identified, the victim has been named by police as Amy Parsons.

Roderick Deakin-White, 37, had been arrested on suspicion of murder on the same day and was charged on Sunday.

He is due to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Ms Parsons and the defendant are believed to have known one another and investigators are not looking for anyone else in connection with the killing.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting CAD 3747 of April 26.
