Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of a man who was stabbed in the chest in north-west London.

Muhamoud Mohamed Mahdi, 28, was killed in Watling Avenue, Burnt Oak, Edgware, on Friday evening.

On Sunday, Christian Adom Kuta-Dankwa, 18, of Rayners Lane, Harrow, and a 16-year-old, also from Harrow, were charged with his murder.

Both will appear before Willesden magistrates later.

A 19-year-old man, who was also arrested, has been released on bail until a date in March, pending further inquiries.

Det Ch Insp Neil John, who is leading the investigation, said: "Muhamoud lived with his mother in Barnet. She will be supported by specialist Met officers throughout the unimaginably difficult days and months ahead."
