Three more people have been charged with the murder of an 18-year-old who was stabbed near a Tube station in east London.

Detectives had been called to the scene to reports of men armed with machetes.

Two boys, aged 16 and 17, and Michael Tommy-Mgagba, 20, of Essex, have been charged with murder.

They have also been charged with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon, and are due to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court later.
