Man charged with murder of youth
12:29am Thursday 21st August 2008
A man has been charged over the killing of a 17-year-old boy who was stabbed in the neck, police said.
Nilanthan Murddi died after receiving a single stab wound to the neck during an incident in Croydon, south London, on Saturday.
Steven Braithwaite, 30, a labourer of no fixed abode, has been charged with his murder, Scotland Yard said.
He will appear in custody at Sutton Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Nilanthan, who lived in the New Addington area of Croydon, had been studying maths and English A-levels at Langley Park Girls' School, which has places for boys in the sixth form.
But he left school to help in the family business, where he worked as a waiter.
He was taken to Croydon's Mayday Hospital after the incident, where he was pronounced dead.
