Two men and a 17-year-old accused of fatally stabbing a man in Plashet Park in broad daylight have denied murder.

Azeem Shafi, 23, of Janson Close, Stratford; Benyamin Ghaderi, 18, of no fixed address in Plaistow, and the teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday to deny killing Moosakhan Nasiri.

The 20-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene in the East Ham park on the afternoon of October 15.

A trial date has been set for April 3.
