Two unemployed men aged 23 and 28 charged with stabbing Melvin Bryan – 20th teenager to be murdered in London this year
Two men have been charged by detectives investigating the stabbing of the 20th teenager to be murdered in London this year.
Melvin Bryan, 18, died from stab wounds to his neck and chest on July 10th following an argument on Gloucester Road, Edmonton.
O'jay Rodgers, 23, of no fixed address, and Damion Jeffrey Sealey, 28, of Green Lanes, north London, are due to appear at a London magistrates court later today charged with his murder.
Mr Rodgers is also accused with possession of heroin, while Mr Sealey is accused of possession with intent to supply crack cocaine.
Two people arrested in the hours after Melvin's death – a man and a woman – have since been released without charge.
