Two 16-year-old boys have been charged with the murder of 17-year-old Keiron Charles, who tragically died following a stabbing incident in Shepherd’s Bush on Saturday.
The two teenagers, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to their age, were charged on Monday, April 7th, following a thorough investigation by detectives from the Metropolitan Police.
Both individuals have been remanded in custody and were scheduled to appear at Highbury Corner Youth Court on Monday, April 7th, from 9:45hrs.
The charges follow the fatal stabbing of Keiron Charles, from East Acton, which occurred at approximately 13:10hrs on Saturday, April 5th, on Erconwald Street in Shepherd’s Bush.
