Detectives have charged a man with murder following a double stabbing in Bow Common that left a 60-year-old dead.

Patrick Dunn, 24, is accused of killing Keith Sinclair who was found with stab wounds in a flat in Bow Common Lane on Sunday.

Dunn, of no fixed address, is also charged with grievous bodily harm in connection with a 54-year-old man who was found stabbed in the street.

He appeared before Thames Magistrates’ Court this morning and was remanded in custody.

A 41-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of murder alongside Dunn has been bailed pending further enquiries.
