A man in his 60s has been charged with murder after a man was killed and two others were injured in a stabbing attack at a market in south London.

Police were called to reports of a number of people stabbed in East Street in Walworth at about 10:40 GMT on Sunday.

The Metropolitan Police said officers found three people with serious injuries and one of them, Hilkiah McLeggan, 77, from Southwark, died at the scene. Two other men were taken to hospital and both remain there, with one of them in a critical condition.

Ali Musse, 66, of no fixed address, has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder and is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
