A man has been charged with the murder of 19-year-old Mohammed Adam Abdi in Westminster.
Awad Abdel Samad, 23, of Talbot Road W2, will appear in custody at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, charged with murder. He was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon.
Detectives arrested Samad on Tuesday, 8 October, in Islington.
An investigation was launched after police were called to reports of a fight in Bell Street, NW1, on Tuesday, 4 June. Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and found Mohammed suffering a stab injury – despite the efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mohammed’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers.
Three men, aged 22, 26 and 24, were arrested shortly after the incident on suspicion of murder and have been bailed pending further enquiries. One of them has been released with no further action.
