A man and a woman have been charged with murder after an elderly man was found dead in York.

A man, 32, and a woman 42, have been charged with murder after the body of a 72-year-old man was found dead at a property in Huntington on November 4. Following their arrest earlier this week, both defendants were charged late on Thursday, November 7 and remanded in custody to appear at York Magistrates’ Court on Friday, November 8.

They were also both charged with theft of a motor vehicle. Detective Superintendent Fran Naughton said: “We remain at the scene of the murder at this time and expect to complete our work at the property today (November 8).

"I reiterate my thanks to the local community for their support and understanding while we worked at the scene. Our thoughts remain with the deceased’s family.”
