Husband charged with murder of special constable

LONDON, Mar 1 (Reuters) The husband of special constable Nisha Patel-Nasri, who was stabbed to death outside her London home last May, was charged with her murder police said.

Fadi Nasri, 33, and a second man, Roger Lesley, 37, were both charged with the killing after being arrested on Tuesday.

They are due to appear before magistrates in west London today, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
