COPS have charged two people with murder after they were arrested at Stansted Airport over the death of a woman.

Emergency services rushed to Nelly Akomah’s house near Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park stadium in South East London on Wednesday morning.

There they tragically found the 76-year-old’s body, after what is thought to have been a “burglary gone wrong”, cops say.

Police quickly launched a murder probe and two people were arrested at Stansted Airport.

Now cops have revealed they have both been charged.

Hugo Da Silva Pires, 28, was charged on Sunday with murder, burglary and fraud.

Meanwhile Catia Feliciano, 31, was charged with fraud and perverting the course of justice.

They appeared in custody at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Monday, June 26.

Pires has been remanded to appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday, 28 June.

Feliciano was also remanded and she will appear at the old Bailey on Monday, 24 July.
