Zakaria Bulhan, 19, was charged with the murder of 64-year-old Darlene Horton plus five counts of attempted murder following the incident which took place late Wednesday in Russell Square. The Metropolitan Police added in a statement that he was in custody and would appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London for an initial hearing on Saturday.
