A man arrested at Heathrow Airport after a pedestrian was hit with a car in East London has been named for the first time after being charged with murder. Trevelle Rowland, 33, of Cornelia Street, Islington, is due to appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court today (Tuesday, March 26).
An investigation was launched after the Met was called at 5.11am on Sunday (March 24) to reports of a collision involving a car and a pedestrian in Barking Road, East Ham, near to the junction with Arragon Road.
Officers responded and provided first aid to a 35-year-old man, who was found injured at the scene. But, despite the efforts of the emergency services, he died a short time later.
