A man has been charged with murdering his parents after they were found stabbed to death at a home in south-west London.

Mustafa Arezo, 31, of Redfern Avenue, Whitton, is charged with two counts of murder and will appear at Wimbledon magistrates court on Monday, Scotland Yard said.

Police were called to Redfern Avenue at about 9.40am on Friday, where Akbar Arezo, 64, and Layla Arezo, 74, were found fatally stabbed inside their home.

A Metropolitan police spokeswoman confirmed Mustafa Arezo as the son of the two victims, who were husband and wife.

The force described it as a “domestic incident” on Twitter.
