A man has been charged with murder after a man died following an assault in 2024.

They found Hassan Bousanguar seriously injured in a communal hallway at about 18:00 BST on 4 May 2024. He died in December 2024.

Codey Nolan, 33, of HMP Chelmsford, is due to appear at Basildon Magistrates' Court on 14 July.

Acting Det Ch Insp Lydia George said: "A huge amount of work has been undertaken by our officers since this incident was first reported to us in May last year.
