British Bangladeshi Layek Miah, 27, of Malmesbury Road, Tower Hamlets, was charged with murder in connection with the incident. He appeared at Thames Magistrates' Court on Saturday, June 28, and was remanded in custody. He is scheduled to appear at the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday, July 1.
Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, who leads policing in Tower Hamlets, stated that while the local community might be understandably shocked, this is believed to be an isolated incident, with no wider threat to the public. He reassured residents that police are working at pace to understand exactly what took place and that there may be a higher police presence in the area.
It's reported that the culprit son did not reside at this address. It's unknown whether the killer was a drug addict. Neighbors have stated that the incident may have occurred due to a family dispute.
The victim's husband is a regular worshipper at the local mosque; he always offers his prayers there.The father returned from the mosque after Isha prayers and was stunned to witness the horrific nature of the incident. It's unclear whether the killer murdered his mother plan fully because no one else was home while the father was at the mosque, or if the killing happened during an argument.
The deceased housewife's home is in Sunamganj, Sylhet. According to family sources, the time and place for her funeral prayer will be determined once the body is released after the post-mortem.
