Officers investigating the death of a man in Lake have tonight (May 29) charged a man with his murder.
The charge comes after officers received a report on the afternoon of Monday 27 May that a man had been seriously assaulted in the Lake Community Gardens, near Scotchells Brook Lane in Lake.
That man was later identified as 73-year-old Gerard Michael White of Talbot Road in Sandown.
Last night a 60-year-old man, of Pier Street, Sandown has been charged with his murder. He was a Trustee of the Lake Community Garden Project, which Mr White was also heavily involved with.
He will appear before Newport Magistrates Court today (30th May).
