A man has been charged with the murder of a prisoner custody officer who was attacked outside a court in London. | |
Humphrey Burke, 22, of no fixed abode, has been charged with the murder of Lorraine Barwell, the Crown Prosecution Service said. | |
Ms Barwell, from Romford, east London, was attacked as she escorted a prisoner from Blackfriars Crown Court to a van on 29 June. She died on 3 July. | |
The 54-year-old worked for the services company Serco for more than 10 years. | |
