James O'Connor, 44, is accused of killing 89-year-old Frederick Burge in Somerset.

James O'Connor, 44, from the Hilltown area of the city, is due before magistrates on Thursday accused of killing 89-year-old Frederick Burge. The widower was found in his home off George Street, Glastonbury, Somerset, on February 26.

O’Connor is due before Yeovil Magistrates’ Court on Thursday. Mr Burge’s family previously paid tribute to the great-great-grandfather. “Frederick Burge was well-known in Glastonbury. It was impossible to walk through the town with him and his dog without getting stopped by someone he knew,” his family said.

“We take some comfort in knowing he is up in heaven with his late wife Marina, and he is looking down on us and we know he would want us to be strong. We will look back on the cherished memories of the time we had together with fondness, and we will treasure these always.
