A second individual has been charged with murder following the fatal stabbing of a teenage boy in east London.

Fifteen-year-old Adam Henry succumbed to his injuries after being attacked on December 9 in Islington.

Abdel Derdour, 22, who has no permanent residence, was arrested in the early hours of Sunday and is set to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

This development follows the earlier arrest of Tsidi Winion, 20, from Handyside Street, Camden, who was charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon on December 15.

In connection with the murder, four additional individuals were apprehended alongside Mr. Derdour at a property in north-west London on Friday.

Daniel Williams, 39, from Shooters Hill, Camden is facing charges of fraud, theft, dangerous driving, and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent, and he is currently in custody.

The remaining two men and a woman have since been released.
