Police have charged three men with the murder of a 19-year-old aspiring musician stabbed to death on a street in south London.

Andre Aderemi was found with knife injuries in Heather Way, Selsdon, at around 7.40pm on Tuesday.

He died in hospital despite the desperate efforts of paramedics and an air ambulance crew.

Three 19-year-old men, Jamall Longergan, Fabio Cela and Rodney Mukasa have been charged with his murder.

The trio appeared at Camberwell Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, police said.

On Wednesday, a memorial was held for the ex-pupil John Ruskin College who was making his name in south London’s grime scene.

Friends paid tribute to the teenager on social media.

Suzie Voce wrote: "I'm so sorry this happened. No one deserves this. My thoughts are with his family. RIP Andre.

"I always liked him through primary and secondary. I can't believe this happened. It's so so sad."

Amy Macartney added: "I can't stop thinking about this. Today it's really hit home that life is way too short.

"I can't imagine what Andre's family must be going through my heart goes out to them."

Mr Aderemi is the eighth teenage victim of knife crime in the capital this year.
