Police were alerted to reports of a man with a knife at about 09:00 BST on Wednesday and he was arrested about 20 minutes later.

Innes was found injured outside her Red Lion Place home and taken by paramedics to hospital, where she died.

Pin, of nearby Brookhill Road, is due to appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
