A teenager has been charged with murder after a man was fatally stabbed at a south London youth club.

Glendon Spence, 23, from Lewisham, was chased into the Marcus Lipton youth centre in Brixton and knifed last Thursday evening.

Paramedics battled to save him but he died at the scene shortly before 7.30pm.

A relative told the Standard: “It hurts me to hear this because he is young only 23... now there is no future for him.”

Scotland Yard said a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged on Sunday.

He will appear before magistrates in Bromley on Monday.
