A HOMELESS man has been charged with the murder of Colin Evans.
Jose Correia Agrela, 29, of no fixed address, will appear at Chelmsford Magistrate's Court this morning (October 3) charged with the murder of Mr Evans, a charity volunteer, whose body was discovered in Broomfield Road on Tuesday (September 30).
Mr Correia Agrela will remain in police custody until his court appearance following being formally charged last night (October 2).
Mr Evans was found stabbed to death in a Chelmsford flat on Tuesday morning, in the same room as his beloved seven-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Sweep.
The 39-year-old had started volunteering at Sanctus café, which also has accommodation for the homeless above, and had been helping to serve teas, run errands, mop floors, and redecorate the café when his life was cut tragically short.
