A jobless man has been charged with the gun murder of a teenager at one of London's most fashionable nightclubs.

Sean Samuels, 27, is accused of shooting 18-year-old Sharif Zaiden three times in the chest at the Egg club in King's Cross, north London.

About 200 terrified clubbers fled from the venue after shots were fired just before 3am on Saturday.

Mr Zaiden, of Ladbroke Grove in west London, died shortly after being rushed to hospital.

Samuels, of no fixed abode, is due to appear at West London magistrates' court on Saturday charged with the murder.
