Five arrested after woman hit and killed by van in Charlton

Five men have been arrested after a woman was hit and killed by a van in Charlton.

The 44-year-old, who has been named as Isabelle Stewart by the Met, was hit by a van at around 10.33pm on Tuesday in Atlas Gardens.

Although paramedics treated her at the scene, she died a short a time later.

As part of the investigation four men, two aged 23, another aged 28 and a 31-year-old, were arrested on April 20 on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and violent disorder.

On Wednesday, a 23-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

All five been bailed pending further enquiries while the police have issued an appeal for further information from anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident.

“My thoughts are with Isabelle’s family and friends,” detective chief inspector Brian Howie, the senior investigating officer, said.

“We recognise the significant concern this incident would have caused, however we are confident there is no wider risk to the community.

“Local officers will remain in the area over the coming days and I would encourage anyone with concerns to speak with them directly."

A post-mortem examination began on Thursday.
