Teen charged in 85yo woman's death probe

A 19-year-old man has been charged as part of a police investigation into the sudden death of an 85-year-old woman in her Perth home.

Iris Jones was found in her Electra Street home in Bateman on Wednesday afternoon, with police saying the circumstances of her death could be suspicious.

Her car, which was missing from the property, was found on Thursday morning in a Hamilton Hill car park.

On Friday, police said a teenager had been charged with aggravated burglary and stealing a motor vehicle, and would appear in Fremantle Magistrates Court later in the day.

The inquiry into Ms Jones' death continues.
