Albert Williams
TWO men are due to appear at Southend Magistrates Court this morning charged with the murder of Albert Williams.
Unemployed Anthony Smith, 43, of Ceylon Road, Westcliff has been charged with murder and two counts of burglary at Mr Williams address in Cedar Close, Southend a week before his death in August.
Ismail Celik, 34, of Rookwood Close, Grays, has been charged with two counts of adding and abetting burglary at Mr Williams address in Cedar Close.
The 67-year-old was found dead at his flat by fire crews who had been called to deal with a fire at the flat.
His death was initially treated as non-suspicious, but a forensic post mortem established that he had been assaulted and died of internal injuries.
