A 19-year-old man has been charged with murder after a fatal car crash in Thamesmead three years ago, police said.

Kai Kinyanjui, of no fixed address, was arrested on Tuesday and has also been charged with perverting the course of justice, said Scotland Yard.

He is due to appear at Bexley Magistrates' Court on Thursday, January 28.

This follows a three-year investigation into a fatal collision on February 1, 2018, when 26-year-old Monzir Mohammed was hit by a car on Twin Tumps Way in Thamesmead, Greenwich, south-east London.

He died in hospital on April 21 that year, with a post-mortem examination giving the cause of death as a head injury.

The car involved was found destroyed on a nearby industrial estate in Abbey Wood, said the Met Police.

Kinyanjui was previously arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in March 2018 and then released under investigation.

Five other people were arrested as part of the investigation but have all been released and no further action will be taken against them, Scotland Yard said.
