Detectives investigating the murder of Daniel Laskos in Harold Wood have charged another man and made a further arrest.

The 16-year-old victim was stabbed to death in Church Road on Friday, 7 May. 

Rakeem Green-Matthews, 18, of Romford, is due to appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 19 May charged with murder. 

Police also detained an 18-year-old man on suspicion of murder yesterday. He remains in custody at an east London police station. 

Three other males have previously been charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon in connection with the attack. 

A 15-year-old male, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and Joshua Kerr, 18, of Romford, were both arrested on the day of the murder. Callum Hands, 19, of Romford, was detained two days later.
