Three people were tonight charged with the murder of Ben Kinsella, Scotland Yard said.

The 16-year-old, the brother of former EastEnders actress Brooke Kinsella, was stabbed to death in Islington, north London, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

He died in the early hours of Sunday morning after a fight in a north London bar spilled out on to the streets.

Ben was stabbed a number of times during the incident on York Way, Islington, before dying in the arms of his friend Louis Robson, 16, the son of Birds Of A Feather actress Linda Robson.

Hundreds of teenagers gathered on Tuesday to protest at Britain's growing knife culture after his death.
