A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder after an 18-year-old man was stabbed to death.

Maliki Sharma was taken to hospital and pronounced dead on January 12 after he was found with multiple stab wounds.

The Metropolitan Police said they were called to Victoria Road, Feltham, west London, at around 5pm following reports of a stabbing.

His family are being supported by specialist officers, police said.

The Met said a 16-year-old boy from Hounslow was charged with murder on Friday and appeared at Willesden Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has been remanded into custody and will next appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.

Two other 16-year-old boys, also from Hounslow, were charged with conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm.

They appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court and Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

Both have been remanded into youth detention and will appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.

Rhys Huskinson, 19, of North Road, Feltham was charged on Wednesday with affray and possession of an offensive weapon in connection with the investigation.

Police said that following further inquiries, the charges have been amended to attempted grievous bodily harm.
