Teens Charged Over East London Murder

Two teenagers are to be charged with the murder of a 17-year-old in east London on 6 January.

Two boys, aged 14 and 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are due to appear before Stratford Youth Court in connection with the murder of Jeremie Malenge.

It is understood that Malenge, from Hackney, had spoken to police around an hour before he was found dead on Homerton High Street last week.

A post-mortem examination found that the teenager had died from a stab wound to the chest.

Police said that the Independent Police Complaints Commission is carrying out an investigation into their contact with the victim prior to his death.
