Three men have been charged with the murder of a teaching assistant and conspiracy to rob.

Michael Adegbite, 28, from Chingford, was stabbed in Lackmore Road, Enfield, around 7pm last Sunday after arranging to sell his MacBook laptop via Gumtree.

Montel Ajayi, 18, of Fowley Close, Waltham Cross, Isacc Owen-Brady, 18, of Blossom Lane, Enfield, and Christopher Nzeh, 18, of Fountain Row, Hitchin, were all charged with the two offences yesterday with Mr Nzeh also charged with possession of an offensive weapon.

Mr Adegbite met three men in Auckland Close, Enfield, where the trio attempted to rob him of the laptop computer. The 28-year-old and his friend snatched back the laptop before getting back into their car.

The fitness model and two of his friends then tried to confront three men they believed had tried to take the laptop and a scuffle ensued resulting in Mr Adegbite being fatally stabbed.

All three men have been detained in custody to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court today at 10am.
