Kinsella stab death: Three remanded

The family of teenager Ben Kinsella came face to face with the three youths accused of his murder.

Ben's mother Deborah, father George and sister Jade sat in Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court hand in hand as the teenagers appeared in the dock.

Juress Kika, 18, Michael Alleyne, 18, and Jade Braithwaite, 19, were remanded in custody until October 13.

Ben, 16, the brother of former EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella, was stabbed repeatedly in York Way, Islington, at about 2am last Sunday.

He had been on a night out with friends at the nearby Shillibeers bar when a fight broke out inside. Detectives believe several youths were ejected from the bar and trouble continued down the street.

Ben died in the arms of his friend Louis Robson, 16, son of Birds Of A Feather actress Linda Robson.

On Tuesday, up to 400 protesters marched in Upper Street, Islington, to the scene of the killing to demand an end to knife crime.

Miss Kinsella joined the march wearing a T-shirt with a photograph of Ben as a baby on it.

Kika and Alleyne were arrested late on Monday night at an address in the Chadwell Heath area of east London, while Braithwaite was arrested in Bethnal Green, also east London, on Tuesday.

An 18-year-old man arrested in Islington on Monday has been bailed to return to a London police station in mid-August pending further inquiries.
