A TOTTENHAM man has been charged with the kidnap and murder of a man in east London.

Syed Shazad Abbass, 24, was walking home from visiting his sister when he was bundled into his own car and kidnapped in September.

He was found near wasteland in East Ham partially clothed and severely beaten, and died the next day from head injuries.

Police have charged Blaize Lunkulu, 24, of Weir Hall Road, and Vikar Khan, 22, from Walthamstow, with kidnap and murder.

They are both due to appear at Stratford Magistrates Court tomorrow morning, when they will also face charges of perverting the course of justice and Mr Lunkulu is accused of a burglary in Forest Gate.
