Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of Mohamed Ensser on the Isle of Dogs have charged three men.

Mohamed, 33, of Leyton, was stabbed to death in East Ferry Road on September 21.

Police were called just before 8.30pm following reports of a group of men fighting, and Mohamed - who was found with stab wounds - was pronounced dead at the scene at 8.52pm.

All three men were arrested and charged last Thursday - November 11 - and appeared before Thames Magistrates’ Court the next day.
