Two men have been charged with murder after a young man was stabbed to death in north London.

Omar Raza, 23, was set upon after parking his silver BMW convertible in a cul-de-sac in Wood Green.

Police said he was stabbed in the chest and was stripped of his phone and watch as he lay dying in the street near Turnpike Lane station.

Paramedics battled for 40 minutes to resuscitate him but he was pronounced dead at the scene at 3pm last Wednesday.

Met police have now charged Akol Garang, 18, from north London, and a 17-year-old man with murder. They were also charged with conspiracy to rob.

Both will be appearing at Willesden Youth Court in custody on 24 February.

A 19-year-old man also arrested on suspicion of murder was bailed to a later date.
