Trevor Timon, 31, Heavitree Road, will appear in Bromley Magistrates’ Court later today after he was charged with murder and common assault.
Police were called to Tranquil Vale following reports of an assault at around 12.45am on Sunday morning (August 28).
His devastated mother Joy Wright, 56, of Chislehurst, southeast London, revealed that just two hours before he died her son had sent a loving message in a text to Claire Wheatley, his girlfriend of four years.
“I don’t think there was an altercation”.
Mr Dearlove, 30, was out with friends in Blackheath on the night of his death. “I’m so lucky to have known him”.
“He was just flawless”.
Mrs Wright said: “He was very popular, he was easy-going, he had a lot of friends”.
“We were trying to get some money together so we could buy a house together”, she said.
“Sometimes I’m all right, sometimes I’m not”.
