A man arrested after three women were stabbed at two separate addresses will appear in court today after being charged over the attacks.
Desmond Brooks, 40, of Redlands Way, Brixton, south London, faces one count of murder and two of attempted murder, Scotland Yard said.
He will appear at Camberwell Magistrates Court.
A 17-year-old girl remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital after she was stabbed in the head and hands at a flat in Tilson Gardens, Brixton on Monday.
Police were called to the property at 7.10pm, where they found the teenager's 28-year-old sister had also been attacked. She was later pronounced dead at the scene.
A post-mortem examination will take place today, police said. She has yet to be formally identified, and next of kin have been informed.
Half an hour earlier a 46-year-old woman was repeatedly stabbed at another flat in nearby Redlands Way. She remains in hospital in a critical condition.
Police believe that a young boy was at each address when the attacks occurred, but that neither was injured.
Brooks was arrested shortly before 1am yesterday as he travelled on a bus in Leigham Court Road, just over a mile from where the women were stabbed.
