A fifth person has been charged with the murder of a 20-year-old man who was stabbed to death in east London.

Jason Romeo was attacked outside an address on Bodney Road in Lower Clapton, Hackney, just before 18:00 GMT on 18 February, the Metropolitan Police said.

Joshua Ogedengbe, 19, from Catford, was arrested on Wednesday and will appear at Thames Magistrates' Court later on Friday charged with murder.

Four other people have been charged with Mr Romeo's murder - Renaldo Roberts, 25, from Hoxton, Raynolph Asante, 22, and Travis Mitchell, 21, both from Hackney, and Rhamyah Bailey-Edwards, 21, from Walthamstow.

The four men who were previously charged have been remanded in custody to next appear at the Old Bailey on 3 November.

The Met said its inquiries into Mr Romeo's death were ongoing.
