A man accused of stabbing a man he found in his home has been charged with murder.

Carlo Dawes, of Taunton Road, Bevendean was last night charged with killing 37-year-old Graham Pethard.

Police launched an appeal to find Dawes, 34, on Saturday after Mr Pethard was stabbed to death at the flat where Dawes lives with his wife and two children in Taunton Road.

Dawes was arrested on Saturday evening and remanded in custody to appear at Brighton Magistrates' Court this morning.
