Two teenagers have appeared in court charged with murder after a man was stabbed in the heart in a park in south-east London.

Kalabe Legesse, 29, was attacked in Peckham Rye Park and Common, near Straker's Road, on 30 December.

Police were called to the park at 20:24 GMT and Mr Legesse died at the scene.

Nah'shun Thomas, 19, and a 16-year-old, who cannot be identified due to their age, appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

They were remanded in custody ahead of a hearing at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.

A post-mortem examination on New Year's Eve revealed Mr Legesse died from a haemorrhage and a stab wound to the heart.

The Met Police has urged anyone with information or who may have witnessed the attack to contact officers.
