Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of a 20 year-old man in South-West London – fatally stabbed on a council estate in the early hours of the morning.
Mahad Mohammed (pictured) of Sporle Court, Winstanley Estate, Battersea was stabbed to death near Pennethorne House, Wye Street at 1:30am on June 22.
Jermaine Sawyers, 18, of no fixed abode and Omar Harrison,18, of Kenmore Road, Harrow, North-West London are charged with murder and appeared in custody at Croydon Magistrates’ Court today.
A post-mortem examination took place at St. George’s Mortuary, Tooting and
the murder was investigated by the Homicide and Serious Crime Command.
An incident room was opened under Detective Chief Inspector Dave Manning who said during an earlier witness appeal: “We would like to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything between the hours of 11pm and 2am in and around Pennethorne House.
“We believe at this early stage that there may have been a group of youths hanging around the estate prior to this murder and residents may have seen them.
“We believe that Mahad may have had an altercation with a group of youths earlier in the evening and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed this or who may have seen this group in the local area.
“We have had a good response from the local community so far but would urge anyone with information to contact us.”
