TWO men have gone on trial accused of stabbing a teenager to death on a housing estate.

Wahab Zaaki, 18, died after being knifed in the chest in Attlee Terrace in Prospect Hill, Walthamstow, back in March 2009.

Kai Shannon, 20, of Elmore Street, Islington, and Abubakar Alawi, of Essex Mansions, Essex Road South, Leytonstone, deny murder.

The trial at the Old Bailey is expected to last several weeks.
