A man has been charged with murdering his 84-year-old mother in north London.

Police were called to a house in Stainton Road, Enfield, at around 2.15am on Sunday after concerns were raised for the welfare of Lesma Jackson.

She was found with a number of injuries and died shortly afterwards.

Her 50-year-old son Gareth Jackson, of Stainton Road, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder before detectives charged him in the early hours of Monday morning.

He was due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Ms Jackson’s post-mortem examination will be held soon.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police has asked anyone with information about the case to call 101 quoting reference CAD 936/30Jan.
