A man has been charged with murdering two sisters who were stabbed to death in a London park.
The bodies of Nicole Smallman, 27, and Bibaa Henry, 46, were found at Fryent Gardens in Wembley on 7 June, two days after a birthday party in the park.
Danyal Hussein, of Guy Barnett Grove, Blackheath, has been charged with killing both women and possession of an offensive weapon, the Met said.
The 18-year-old will appear at the Old Bailey on 6 July.
Mr Hussein was remanded into custody at Westminster Magistrates Court on Thursday.
The sisters had met up with friends in the park from about 19:00 BST on 5 June to celebrate Ms Henry's birthday.
They were found dead two days later.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of both of their deaths as stab wounds.
Images recovered from the sisters' phones showed them dancing with fairy lights at the party
