A GREAT grandmother stabbed to death in her flat by "callous cowards" was a pillar of the community, neighbours said today.
Local residents, who identified the victim as widow Irene Barrett, 87, said they were "disgusted" by the attack.
Officers found Ms Barrett, believed to be a retired secretary, at her flat in Charlton, south-east London, this morning.
A man in his 20s was arrested this afternoon, police sources said.
Fighting back tears, neighbour Claire Pickett, 30, said: "I just do not understand how anyone could do this.
"She was such a lovely lady. She used to knit blankets for premature babies and animals at Battersea Dogs Home.
"She even made a blanket for my baby when it was born. She was like a grandmother for all the young children here.
"A lot of her friends had died so she really was like the last one
