A WOMAN and teenage boy have been charged with murder after a pensioner was found dead at his home.

Tributes have poured in for Michael Brady, 74, after his body was found at a property in Coventry, West Midlands, on Monday.

A police tent was put up outside the house and the area was cordoned off.

Cops confirmed the arrests of the 16-year-old boy and 44-year-old Antoinette Sheppard in a statement today and said that the suspects remain in custody.

Mr Brady's family released a picture of him as they "continue to grieve in private".
