A 17-year-old man has been charged with murder by the death of a wealthy British restaurant owner, according to a new report.
Susan Addis, 69, was discovered Thursday at her home in Brighton, The Sun reported.
It is unclear how the attack unfolded. Friends said she lived alone, but knew the suspect.
“By the sound of things, there has been some kind of alteration in the house and Sue has suffered some injuries,” an unidentified friend told The Sun.
According to The Sun, the suspect, who has not been publicly identified, was charged Friday with homicide.
Addis ran two popular restaurants, Donatello and Pinocchio, popular with celebrities and athletes.
The Addis family called for privacy and added that they were “in a state of shock” over his murder.
