A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder in connection with the stabbing death of 21-year-old Meshach Williams in Brent in north-west London in April.
The teenager from Brent was arrested on Thursday, Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Willesden Magistrates’ Court on Saturday charged with one count of murder.
Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at 9.07pm on Tuesday, April 23, to High Street, NW10, following reports of a stabbing.
A man, later formally identified as Meshach Lee Mitchell Williams, was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2.47am on Wednesday, April 24.
A post-mortem examination identified stabbing as the cause of death.
Three other men aged 19, 18 and 24 have previously been arrested and charged in connection with Mr Williams’s murder and are due to face trial in November.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
