Detectives investigating the murder of a teenage music student have charged two women in connection with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Jamie Kennedy, 31 and Charlotte Edmonds, 32 both of Daubeney Tower, Deptford, were charged today (Thursday, July 21) in connection to the investigation into the death of Myron Yarde.

The pair were due to appear in custody today at Bexley Magistrates' Court.

Both women were arrested on April 14 and the offence is alleged to have taken place between April 2 and April 5.

Aspiring rapper Myron, 17, who had been studying musical performance at the Big Creative Academy in Walthamstow, was wounded in Camplin Street, New Cross, on April 3 this year.

Myron, who lived Deptford, was taken to hospital by the London Ambulance Service, but later died.

A 15-year-old youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with murder and is due to stand trial in October.
