A woman in her 60s was allegedly stabbed to death in a street in London by a thief who ‘tried to steal her bag’.
The victim was waiting for a bus in Burnt Oak yesterday when she was knifed to death.
Locals looked on in horror as the attack unfolded in north London at 11.50am yesterday.
One witness who worked at the salon opposite, told MailOnline that the woman was attacked after she tried to resist being robbed.
Jess Bloom, 24, said: “It happened at the bus stop and the woman ended up in the middle of the road.
The charge relates to an incident in the car park of Tesco on Stratford Road on 22 January 2023.
Mr Shadwick was found unresponsive and without his mobility scooter, which he used as his mode of transport. He died in hospital later on the same day.
Ms Hawkins is due to appear at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on 15 May

A crisis measure to ease overcrowding in prisons has been triggered by the government.
'Operation Safeguard' allows offenders to be housed in police cells when jails are full.
It follows another extension of the End of Custody Supervised License Scheme, another emergency measure which allows prisoners to be freed early, before the end of their sentence, to ease capacity.
When announced by the justice secretary in October, prisoners were to be released up to 18 days before their prison term ended.That has now been amended so that certain offenders can leave prison more than two months, 70 days early - as of 23 May.

I think he was sarcastic and mocking the anti-gun crowd , as knifes are obviouly used to kill as well and barring access to knives is impossible.

"It's the gun, stupid!" is a phrase thrown around by the anti-gun crowd suggesting that the issue isn't the shooter, but the shooter's access to guns and that by removing access to guns, violent crime will go down. Intelligent people, on the other hand, know that it's really the person who commits the crime that is at fault and if they want to harm someone, they will find a way.
A man who had been released from prison five days before stabbing an elderly mobility scooter rider to death has been detained indefinitely in a psychiatric hospital.
Lee Byer, 45, who previously admitted manslaughter, killed Thomas O'Halloran, in Greenford, west London, in August 2022.
