A 38-year-old woman has been charged with murder after a man was found suffering from multiple injuries in a quiet street.

Carol Campling, who is homeless, was charged on Sunday with the murder of Mark Smith, 48.

Mr Smith was found injured at a property in Garenne Court in Warren Road, Chingford, on Thursday morning and was pronounced dead shortly after.

A post-mortem examination which took place on Saturday gave the cause of death as multiple injuries.

Campling is due to appear in custody at Thames Magistrates’ Court today.

A 63-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder in the early hours of Friday has been released under investigation.
