Fourth man charged with murder of Chatham teen Andre Anderemi in South Croydon

A fourth man has been charged with murder by detectives investigating the death of a teenager from Chatham.

Ali Zahawy, 18, is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court today charged with the murder of 19-year-old Andre Aderemi on Tuesday, August 16.

Three men have already been charged with murder after Andre was found with stab injuries in Heather Way, South Croydon, at 7.40pm on Tuesday. He later died in hospital.

Jamall Longergan, of Woodcroft Road, Thornton Heath, Fabio Cela, of Fryston Avenue, Croydon, and Rodney Mukasa, of Green View Avenue, Croydon, all of whom are 19, were charged on Friday.

They appeared in custody at Camberwell Magistrates' Court on Saturday and were remanded to appear at Old Bailey later today.

It is believed Andre, who was an amateur rapper, had moved to Chatham recently and had returned to Croydon to visit friends when he was allegedly attacked.

More than 100 friends and relatives of the teenager attended a memorial church service earlier this week and his sister has set up a GoFundMe site to raise money for his funeral.

Writing on the page, she paid tribute to her brother and said: "He was a passionate for his loved ones and had a priceless heart."

His mother, Yemi Hughes, is reported to have told the congregation: “I’ve lost my baby. He’s my everything, my rock... my other two boys are broken.”
