A woman has this evening been charged in connection to the death of an
85-year-old man in the Handsworth area.

Yesterday morning (Thursday 13 September), just before 9.45am, emergency
services were called to a house in Orgreave Lane following a report that the
man was seriously injured. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

He has today been formally identified as Alan Grayson. A post-mortem
examination has also been carried out, which concluded that Mr Grayson died
as a result of stab wounds.

Marjorie Grayson, 83, of Orgreave Lane, has been charged with murder and
remanded into custody to appear before Sheffield Magistrate’s Court tomorrow
morning (Saturday 15 September).

Detective Inspector Simon Palmer, the Senior Investigating Officer, said:
“Mr Grayson’s family are being supported by specialist officers during this
incredibly difficult time and have asked that their privacy is respected.

“I fully appreciate that Mr Grayson’s death is highly emotive but I would
urge people to think about comments they make on social media and the impact
it could have on the family. I’d also like to ask that people refrain from
posting speculations, to enable criminal proceedings to progress through the
courts unhindered and to allow the family time to grieve.”
