Two men have been charged with the murder of Wahab Zaaki
TWO men have been charged with the murder of a teenager in Walthamstow two years ago.
Wahab Zaaki, 18, was stabbed in the chest in Atlee Terrace, off Prospect Hill, following a row involving a large group of youths back in March 2009.
Mr Zaaki, who lived in Old Church Road in Chingford, was rushed to hospital but died on the way.
Yesterday police arrested two 19-year-olds in connection with his death after receiving "significant new evidence”.
Kai Shannon, of Elmore Street in Islington, and Abubakar Alawi, of Essex Mansions in Leytonstone, have now been charged with murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
They will appear at Waltham Forest Magistrates Court today (Thursday April 14).
