Youth Charged In Connection With London Street Shooting

A 17-year-old youth arrested in connection with the death of a Polish care worker in south London has been charged with the attempted murder of a man.

The boy was arrested after the death of 26-year-old Magda Pniewska, who was shot dead in New Cross last Tuesday.

She had been caught in the crossfire between two gunmen as she walked home from work.

The youth is due to appear before Balham Youth Court on Tuesday, charged with attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence.

A second man arrested in connection with Ms Pniewska's death was released on bail on Monday and is due to report back to police later in the month.

Three other men and a woman were also previously arrested in the investigation. One of the men was released on bail, while the other three were released with no further action.
