A second teenager has been charged with murder after a stabbing outside Parsons Green tube station.



Shafiq Smith, 18, of Brudenell Road, south-west London, was remanded in custody and appeared at Wimbledon magistrates court on Saturday.

Smith spoke only to confirm his name, age and address. He was ordered to appear at a plea and trial preparation hearing at the Old Bailey on 25 October.

Omid Saidy, 20, was killed on Monday outside the London station, where 30 people were injured in a terrorist attack last month.

He was attacked after asking a drug dealer and another man to leave the area, Metropolitan police said.

Saidy, from Fulham, was pronounced dead in Parsons Green Lane at 8.30pm.

Smith was also charged with the attempted murder of 18-year-old Oluwafemi Omotosho, who was stabbed after arriving at the scene on a moped. He faces a third charge of threatening Omotosho with a large knife.

Omotosho was seriously injured in the attack, and has also been charged with affray and possession of a bladed article, the prosecutor, Simon Arloff, said.

The court heard he had been taken ill and would appear before Wimbledon magistrates court on Monday instead.

A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be identified, has also been charged with murder and threatening another man with a knife. He appeared in custody at Wimbledon youth court on Thursday.

The teenager, from Durham, was injured during the attack and arrested after being released from hospital. He was remanded in custody and ordered to appear at the Old Bailey on 23 October.

Two women and another man who were arrested at the same time as Smith, on suspicion of assisting an offender, have been released under investigation.
