Grandson charged with charity worker’s murder

Detectives investigating the killing of a charity worker stabbed to death in her own home have charged her grandson with her murder.

Greg Irvin, 25, from Walsall Wood, West Midlands, was arrested the day after 74-year-old Anne James’s body was discovered.

It is alleged that he attacked his grandmother with a knife at her home in the Highgate area of Walsall on Feb 28 and he is set to appear at Wolverhampton magistrates’ court today.

Det Insp Harry Harrison said: “This is a murder that has really shocked the local community.”
