Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of NHS worker David Gomoh in east London.
The 24-year-old was attacked in Freemasons Road in Newham at around 10.25pm last Sunday.
His family were already grieving from tragedy as his father recently died from a coronavirus-related illness. His funeral had been planned for Wednesday.
Mr Gomoh, a nurse like his mother, was a key worker tasked with keeping NHS staff supplied with essential equipment amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Muhammad Jalloh, 18, and a 16-year-old boy from Telford in Shropshire, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were charged with his death on Sunday.
They were also charged with conspiracy to cause GBH in connection with another alleged incident shortly before Mr Gomoh was found with knife wounds in Freemasons Road.
The teenagers are due to appear at Thames Magistrates Court on Monday May 4.
