Juan-Claude McKenley, 18, was stabbed by what is believed to be a pair of scissors in what officers described as an "altercation" outside the Broad Street Mall in Reading, Berkshire, on Thursday.

Deno Bruce Brown, 26, from Reading, was charged with murder and possession of a class A drug with intent to supply and will appear at Slough Magistrates' Court.

A post-mortem examination found that the cause of death was internal bleeding, said police.

The incident happened at about 1.50pm on Thursday outside the Oxford Road entrance to the mall, when the area would have been busy with shoppers.

Mr McKenley, from Reading, was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital where he died of his injuries.

Mr McKenley was originally from Jamaica, where his mother lives, the Reading Evening Post reported.

His aunt, Aileen Callender, of Tilehurst, Berkshire, told the newspaper: "He was a nice boy and so polite.

"He always called me aunty. He never cussed and he was always kind."
