Six teenagers have been charged with the murder of an 18-year-old Dartford man.

Clinton Evbota was knifed opposite a nursery in Camberwell on October 10.

Officers have charged Rio Williams, 18, from Stockwell, and Calvin Lopoua, also 18, from Streatham, with his murder.

Two 17-year old boys from Coulsden and Stockwell, and a 15-year-old from Camberwell have also been charged.

They appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court yesterday. They were remanded in custody ahead of a hearing to take place at the Old Bailey tomorrow.

A 15-year-old boy from Camberwell has also been charged and is due to appear at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court in County Durham.

It brings the total number of teenagers charged to 7 after a 16-year-old boy from Camberwell was charged with his murder in December.

He has been remanded in custody to next appear at the Old Bailey on Monday February 24.

Mr Evbota, who recently moved to Kent from London, was stabbed on the Brandon Estate in Grimsel Path.

Officers and emergency services were called at 8.20pm but he was pronounced dead at the scene an hour later.

A 14-year-old boy was also arrested but has since been released with no further action.

A GoFundMe page was set up in his memory to cover funeral costs and raised more than double its original target of £1,500.

Dartford MP Gareth Johnson described the circumstances surrounding Clinton's death as "truly appalling".

He said: "The death of this young man from Dartford is yet another tragic loss of life to knife crime. The circumstances surrounding his death are truly appalling.

"I have spoken in depth with the Met Police about their investigation and as you might expect, they are dealing with this in a very professional and determined way.
