Police tape near a scene of a suspected crime
A 21-year-old man is due to appear in court today charged with the murder of a fellow resident at an adult care facility in Newham, east London.
Rolando Torres-Pena was arrested at the mental health care centre on Glen Road early on Tuesday morning after police found another resident, a 34-year-old man, suffering from head injuries.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
A subsequent post-mortem examination determined the cause of death as compression of the neck.
Torres-Pena was arrested at the scene and later charged with the 34-year-old’s murder.
He is due to appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
