Two due in court over murder of London Cypriot

Two people are due to be appear in court in the UK on Monday after they were charged with the murder of a Cypriot in London.

Philip Sherwin, 60 and Deka Omar, 23, were charged on Saturday over the killing of Susan Ioannou in the London borough of Edmonton.

They are both due to appear in custody at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court, according to UK’s Cypriot community newspaper Parikiaki.

Police were called at 8.30pm last Monday after it was reported that a 58-year-old woman was found with injuries at a residential property on Church Street in Edmonton.

Officers arrived at the scene along with an ambulance and a woman was pronounced dead at the scene. She was formally identified as Susan Ioannou.

Her family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.

A post-mortem examination carried out last Tuesday was, however, unable to determine her cause of death. Further investigations are underway.
