A MAN is due in court today charged in connection with a murder in Forest Gate.
Paulius Korsakas, 27, of no fixed address, will appear before Stratford magistrates to answer a single count of murder.
The body of 37-year-old Igor Vinogradov, also of no fixed address, was discovered at a squat in Capel Road on Monday afternoon.
A postmortem gave the cause of death as severe blunt trauma injuries to the head.
Neighbours say the semi-detached house where the body was found had been boarded up for several years.
It is understood it had recently been taken over by squatters.
The property, which is opposite Wanstead Flats, has since been sealed off by police and officers have been stationed outside.
