A teenager has appeared in court charged with the murder of 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen.

Jake Fahri, 19, is accused of stabbing the popular schoolboy to death at the Three Cooks bakery in Lee, southeast London, on Saturday morning.

Jimmy was killed the day after his 16th birthday as he returned home from buying his first lottery ticket with one of his brothers.

Fahri, of Lee, was remanded in custody by Sutton Magistrates' Court, and will appear before the Old Bailey on August 21.

Jimmy, a 6ft 4in "gentle giant", was the 13th teenager to be murdered in London so far this year.

The GCSE student's 26-year-old brother Tommy ran to the scene and cradled him as he lay bleeding to death.

Jimmy's parents, Barry, 56, and Margaret, 55, have paid loving tribute to their "saint" of a son and recalled the happy final few days they spent with him.
