A man has been charged with the murder of another man on North Tyneside earlier this year.

Trevor Bishop, 45, was found with a head injury at a property in Clifton Gardens, North Shields, on 7 March and died in hospital.

A 35-year-old man, also of North Shields, will appear at Newcastle Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

A 54-year-old man from Whitley Bay is also due in court charged with assisting an offender.

Northumbria Police said four other people remained on police bail.
