Ashraf Habimana stabbing: Three teens charged with murder

Ashraf Habimana was described by his family as a "remarkable young man"

Three teenagers have been charged with murder following the death of a sixth-form student in Luton.

Ashraf Habimana, 16, died from stab wounds in Nunnery Lane on 29 September, in an incident in which another teenager was also seriously injured.

Bedfordshire Police said three 16-year-old boys from Luton had been charged with murder, violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon.

Two of them have also been charged with attempted murder.

On Friday, one of the suspects appeared before Luton magistrates, while the other two were at Luton Youth Court.

Three 17-year-olds have already been charged with murder and appeared in court in October.

Det Insp Graham Newton said: "We are determined to take robust action against anyone involved in the tragic death of Ashraf Habimana."
