Three in court over stabbing murder

Three men are due to appear in court charged with the murder of a teenager who was stabbed in the heart.

Nabeer Bakurally, 19, from Forest Gate, east London, was attacked in the early hours of Saturday morning in High Road, Ilford.

Abdul Siddique, 24, Kalam Mohammed Kazi, 23, and Pradip Mistry, 21, all from Ilford, will appear in custody at Redbridge Magistrates Court.

Siddique is also charged with the attempted murder of a second teenager who suffered stab wounds during the incident.

The 17-year-old was taken to an east London hospital but was later discharged.

Siddique, of Belmont Road, and Kazi, of Bedford Road, were arrested soon after the attack. Mistry, of Belgrave Road, was detained on Sunday afternoon.

Officers were called to High Road at the junction with Clements Road at 2.30am on Saturday. Mr Bakurally was pronounced dead at the scene at 3.38am.

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as stab wounds to the heart.

The 19-year-old was the 28th teenager to meet a violent death in the Greater London area this year.

The stabbing came just over a month after the last murder of a teenager in the capital, that of Craig Marshall, who was killed outside a block of flats in Acton, west London, on September 29.
