Camberwell Charlotte Huggins stabbed to death by her controlling boyfriend because he was jealous of her relationship with her neighbour.

Domestic Homicide

Michael Rolle, 34, knifed Charlotte Huggins, 33, in the back.

She was pronounced dead at 4:50am on January 1, in the flat where she grew up and is believed to have been the first person killed in the capital in 2019.

In the early hours of New Year’s Day in south London, Michael Rolle stabbed to death Charlotte Huggins.

“He forced a large kitchen knife into her back, the blade passing through her lung and damaging a major blood vessel.”

Rolle, from East Dulwich, had become jealous of her long-term friend and neighbour Jason Nelson, even though Rolle himself had another partner.

“The prosecution case is that this defendant would behave in a controlling way towards her, and he was jealous of any contact she might have with other men.
