Three accused of murder after Lewisham party stab death

Three people have been charged with the murder of a boy who was fatally stabbed in south-east London.

Felix Conel, 18, of Middlesex, Jeffrey Otete, also 18, of Deptford, and a 16-year-old boy, also of Deptford, were detained after Nathaniel Brown suffered a chest wound in Lewisham on Wednesday.

Nathaniel, 16, was found in Launcelot Road, Downham, at about 04:00 BST and died at the scene about an hour later.

The three accused are due to appear before Bromley Magistrates' Court.

Formal identification of the victim has yet to take place and results of a post-mortem examination have not been released, a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said.
