The police have named the four men they have charged with the murder of a teenager in Southall earlier this month.
The four, who are all from the Southall area appeared in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday, 18 November accused of killing 17-year-old Simarjeet Singh Nangpal.
They are 21-year-old Amandeep Singh, 27-year-old Manjit Singh, 31-year-old Ajmeer Singh and 71-year-old Poran Singh.
Simarjeet was found by police with serious stab wounds in Burket Close, a quiet residential street which is near the Grand Union Canal, after they were called to reports of an altercation at 12:15am on Wednesday, 15 November.
Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The four men who have been charged were arrested at the scene. Two of them were initially taken to hospital but have since been discharged.
Simarjeet was local to the area and his family continue to be supported by specialist officers.

Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe, from Specialist Crime South, said, “We are working around the clock to find those responsible for Simarjeet’s murder, as his family struggle to come to terms with their loss.
"Four men have been arrested and our enquiries continue. I would urge anyone with information about how the events unfolded or anyone who may have captured the incident on their phone, dash cameras or doorbell footage to please come forward.”
Detective Superintendent Figo Forouzan, Head of CID in west London, said: "Our thoughts remain with Simarjeet’s family at this extremely difficult time. No family should have to go through what they are experiencing.
"This incident will undoubtedly cause wider concern, and I want to reassure the community that we will do everything in our power to find those responsible. In the coming days you will see extra officers out on patrol in your area. Please do speak to them about any concerns you may have.”
Anyone with information that could assist detectives is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 63/15Nov. To remain anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
