James O'Connor, from Hilltown in Dundee, Scotland, has been charged with the murder of 89-year-old Frederick Burge.
Frederick was found in his home off George Street, Glastonbury, on Sunday 26 February.

"We've worked tirelessly to secure this charge and I'd like to thank the community in Glastonbury for their patience while we've carried out our enquiries as well as those who have assisted with them."
Two other men who were arrested as part of the investigation have been released without charge.
