The husband of an 80-year-old woman will appear in court charged with her murder.
Alan Sharp, 80, of Raeburn Avenue, Tolworth, will appear in custody at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Monday, July 22, charged with the murder of his wife, Jenny Sharp, at the address they shared.
An investigation was launched after police were called at around 9.30 a.m. on Friday, July 19, to a residential address on Raeburn Avenue after a woman was found unresponsive. She was sadly pronounced dead at 09.32hrs.
Alan Sharp was arrested at the scene, and an investigation was undertaken by detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, led by Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie. He was charged with murder on Saturday, 20 July.
A forensic post-mortem examination took place on Saturday, July 20 and gave the cause of death for Jenny Sharp as “manual compression of the neck.”
Police are not looking for anyone else connected with the murder.
DCI Howie said, “This is a terribly sad case. The family are being supported by specialist officers and we request their privacy is respected at this incredibly difficult time.”
