Man, 22, to face cafe murder charge

A Polish man is due to appear in court accused of murdering a businesswoman bludgeoned to death in her own cafe.

Slawomir Zakrzewski, 22, from Whitely Road, south-east London, is charged with killing Colombian Gloria Burgos, 54, who had run a thriving diner close to London Bridge for more than a decade.

Police officers were called to the diner in Bermondsey Street, south-east London, after a delivery man found the woman's body on Monday night.

Mrs Burgos, a mother of three, suffered fatal injuries to her head and body.

Zakrzewski, who has previously been remanded in custody, will appear at Greenwich Magistrates' Court.
