Three men have been charged with the murder of 17-year-old Simarjeet Singh Nangpal, after he died in a suspected fight in west London.

Amandeep Singh, 21, Manjit Singh, 27, and Ajmeer Singh, 31, all of Southall, west London, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said.

A fourth man, 71, remains in police custody.

The 17-year-old died at the scene after being found with stab injuries when police responded to reports of a fight in Burket Close, Hounslow, west London, at 12.15am on Wednesday.

The four men were arrested at the scene and two were taken to hospital due to injuries they sustained before the police arrived.

Simarjeet’s family continues to be supported by specialist officers, the force said.

Detective superintendent Figo Forouzan previously 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.”
