A man has been charged with the murder of a 22-year-old who was stabbed in south London.

Kyiza Sandiford, 23, appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, where he also faced a charge of possessing an offensive weapon.
He was remanded into custody until his next appearance at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.
A 15-year-old boy was arrested on 5 October on suspicion of murder and possession of an offensive weapon.
He has been bailed, pending further inquiries, to a date in early January.
Another 15-year-old boy was arrested on 6 October on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.
‘Awful attack’
Det Insp Kevin Martin said work to establish a motive for the stabbing is continuing.
He added: “This awful attack took place in broad daylight, in front of people simply going about their business.
“I don’t underestimate the impact such a horrific incident will have had on anyone who saw it.
“We have heard from a number of people but I am asking anyone who witnessed it to speak to us, in confidence, about what they saw.
“I am also fully aware that there are a number of videos circulating following the incident, including of the crime scene.
“I know that these videos are causing enormous distress for the loved ones of the victim, and I would ask people to respect them by not circulating this upsetting footage.”
