A 20-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a teenager in a north London hair salon.

In February, 19-year-old Kamali Gabbidon-Lynck was chased into the salon, in Wood Green, where he was cornered and stabbed to death.

Sheareem Cookhorn, of Park Lane, Tottenham, has now been charged with murdering Mr Gabbidon-Lynck and the attempted murder of a 20-year-old man.

He appeared in custody at Highbury Magistrates Court on Saturday.

Mr Gabbidon-Lynck and the 20-year-old were found suffering from stab wounds. Mr Gabbidon-Lynck died in the hospital in the early hours of the next day.
