Boy, 17, charged with murder after NYE stabbing

A 17-year-old boy has been charged with murder after 23-year-old man was fatally stabbed in south-east London on New Year's Eve.

The teenager, who cannot be named because of his age, is due to appear at Bromley Magistrates' Youth Court later, the Metropolitan Police said.

Police were called at around 12:35 GMT on 31 December following reports of the attack in Grove Street, Deptford.

The victim, John Temitope Onetufo from Deptford, was treated for a stab wound to the chest but died at the scene, the force added.

Officers also arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of murder and an 18-year-old woman on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. They have both been bailed while enquiries continue.
