Two men have been charged with murder following the fatal stabbing of a 24-year-old in Leyton, east London, and are due to appear in court on Monday.
Abdullahi Abdi, 24, of Lincoln Street, Leytonstone, and 25-year-old Hanet Ahmed will appear before Thames Magistrates’ Court on April 27 charged with murder, the Metropolitan Police confirmed.
The charges relate to the death of Suhayb Abdulkadir, who was fatally stabbed in the early hours of Thursday morning. Officers were called to Saint George’s Road at around 12.40am on April 23 following reports of an altercation involving a group of people. Police attended alongside the London Ambulance Service, and a 24-year-old man was treated at the scene for stab injuries.
Despite the efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead a short time later. He has since been formally identified as Mr Abdulkadir, whose next of kin are being supported by specially trained officers.
Four men were arrested on suspicion of murder on the evening of the incident. One has since been bailed and another released under investigation, while the remaining two were charged.
Detectives have appealed for anyone with information to contact police on 101, quoting reference 219/23APR. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
