A man has been charged with the murders of a teenage boy and a man in Archway.

Leonardo Reid, 15, and 23-year-old Klevi Shekaj died after being stabbed in the Elthorne Road area on June 29, 2023, at 11.30pm.

Over a year later, Lorik Lupqi has been charged with their murders.

The 21-year-old is also charged with the attempted murder of another man injured in the same incident.
