A woman has appeared in court charged with murdering a man at his home.

Marie Nellie, 44, of Westcroft Road in Cricklewood, appeared at Highbury Magistrates’ Court yesterday (September 11) charged with murder.

It comes after police were called by the London Ambulance Service to Westcroft Road just after 8am on Friday (September 8).

A man had been found with stab injuries in his home.

Despite the best efforts of emergency services, Gary Sampson, 34, died at the scene.

Gary’s family has been informed although he is yet to be formally identified.

A post-mortem examination gave his cause of death as shock and haemorrhaging caused by a stab wound.

Nellie was arrested at the scene and subsequently charged with murder.

She will next appear in court at the Old Bailey tomorrow (September 13) and has been remanded in custody.

Police have confirmed that Nellie was known to Gary and that nobody else is sought in connection with the incident.

A crime scene remains in place in Westcroft Close and police enquiries continue.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to call 101, quoting reference 1693/08Sep.
