Two teenagers have been arrested after an NHS worker was stabbed to death seconds from his home in Newham, East London. 

David Gomoh, 24, was stabbed to death in Newham just days before the funeral of his father, who died of a coronavirus-related illness.

The Metropolitan Police said officers arrested a 19-year-old man in Stratford on Friday afternoon while a 17-year-old boy was subsequently arrested at a home in Telford, Shropshire, on Saturday morning.

Both remain in custody.

The attack took place in Freemasons Road, Newham, near Gomoh’s home at around 10.25pm on Sunday, April 26.

Marketing graduate Gomoh worked for the NHS and his mother is a nurse.
