A man has been charged with the murder of 20-year-old Jamie Gilbey.

Dejour Jones, 24, was charged today (Friday).

Jones, of no fixed address, will appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Monday.

It comes as specialist officers are continuing to carry out searches of South Norwood Lakes in Croydon.

Police are asking for anyone who may have been fishing or using the path around the lake to call police if they think they saw anything suspicious.

They also want to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious activity on roads near the lake, namely: Auckland Road, Sylvan Road and Woodvale Avenue.

At around 1.45pm last Sunday, officers on patrol discovered a number of suspicious items near Love Lane in South Norwood.

A murder investigation was then launched as it was thought that Jamie Gilbey, from the Crystal Palace area, had come to harm.

Police had previously appealed for information about the whereabouts of Jamie in a wanted appeal.

He had no prior convictions or cautions for any offence.

He was last seen on Sunday, February 27.
