His family are being supported by specialist officers, police said.

The Met said a 16-year-old boy from Hounslow was charged with murder on Friday and appeared at Willesden Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has been remanded into custody and will next appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.

They appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court and Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
