A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of a man in north London.

Police were called to an address in Penshurst Road, Tottenham, shortly before 2pm on Monday.

Officers found two men with stab wounds, including a 19-year-old who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Although the victim has not been formally identified, Scotland Yard have named him as Nikolay Vandev.

His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

The Metropolitan Police said a 15-year-old was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the incident.

He was later charged with murder, grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an offensive weapon.

The boy is due to appear at Highbury Corner Youth Court on Thursday.

A 17-year-old boy was previously charged with murder and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday.

The second man found with stab wounds at the scene was taken to hospital where his condition is not life-threatening.

Enquiries are continuing and anyone with information is asked to call 101 and quote CAD 3573/08MAR.
