A 20-year-old man has appeared in court over of the murder of a 48-year-old father and two other stabbing attacks in north west London.

Amine Laouar is accused of killing delivery driver Leon Street, who was stabbed to death on January 11 in Neasden, close to where he lived with his fiancee.

Police and paramedics were called to the scene in Neasden Lane North just after 9.30pm but could not save Mr Street.

Mr Laouar appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Friday, wearing a grey hoodie.

He spoke only to confirm his name and details during the approximately three-minute hearing, looking towards his family in the public gallery as he was brought in.

Mr Laouar was also charged with wounding with intent against a 47-year-old man on the same road around 10 minutes before the fatal attack on Mr Street.

He faces a third charge of attempted murder of a 32-year-old man in Neasden Lane North on January 17, six days days after the murder.

Chair magistrate Mervyn Mandell remanded Mr Laouar, of Oxford Place, Brent, north-west London, into custody to appear at the Old Bailey on January 26.
