Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of a 19-year-old who was stabbed to death at Hounslow West Underground station in west London.

Sayed Abbas was fatally wounded at the station shortly after 2300 BST on Thursday on his way home.

The station was sealed off by police, causing delays for thousands of holidaymakers heading to Heathrow.

Oluwasey Ogunsanya, 19, and a 16-year-old male are to appear at Feltham Magistrates on Monday.

Two others - a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old - have also been arrested in connection with the investigation.

They are currently in custody at separate west London police stations.

Mr Abbas was with two friends when he was wounded.

A train driver went to his assistance, but Mr Abbas died after arriving at West Middlesex hospital.
