A man has been charged with the murder of a 46-year-old woman found stabbed following a gas explosion at a house in London.
Clifton George, 44, will appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
He has also been charged with arson with intent to endanger life, the Metropolitan Police said.
Charity worker Annabel Rook was found fatally injured at a property in Dumont Road, Stoke Newington, northeast London, just before 5am on Tuesday.
In a statement yesterday, her family said they were “struggling to come to terms with this terrible tragedy”.
“We have lost our beautiful daughter, sister, friend and mother. Annabel was a truly wonderful woman,” the tribute read.
“She touched the hearts of so many.
“She gave her life to helping the vulnerable and the disadvantaged whether it was in refugee camps in Africa or setting up MamaSuze in London, to enhance the lives of survivors of forced displacement and gender-based violence.”
