Two men have been charged with the murder of a man in 1984.

Anthony Littler, 45, was found with head injuries in an alleyway known as The Causeway, near East Finchley Tube station on May 1 that year. Investigators believe the Customs and Excise officer, who was single and lived a short distance from the station, was murdered in a random attack.

On Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police announced that two men who were originally arrested in March last year have now been charged with murder.
