Detectives investigating the deaths of a 15-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man who were killed while making a music video have charged a suspect with two counts of murder.

The two victims died after witnesses saw a fight break out among a group of about 40 people who had been filming on their phones and posing with luxury cars in Islington, north London, on Thursday 29 June.

Abel Chunda, 27, of Archway, north London, is due to appear at Highbury Corner magistrates court on Wednesday accused of murdering Leonardo Reid, 15, and the 23-year-old who has not yet been named by police.

He has also been charged with one count of attempted murder after a 28-year-old man suffered a non life-threatening stab injury, and possession of an offensive weapon.

Witnesses described how they were kept awake as the group played the same song on repeat and filmed on their phones before a “commotion” broke out.

Leonardo was pronounced dead at the scene, while the 23-year-old man was taken to hospital but later died.
