Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of David Gomoh, the NHS worker killed outside his home in east London, Scotland Yard said. Gomoh, 24, who worked for Barts Health NHS trust in supplies and procurement, was stabbed to death in Newham just days before he was due to attend the funeral of his father, who died from a coronavirus-related illness. Muhammad Jalloh, 18, from Stratford, in Newham, and a 16-year-old boy, from Telford, in Shropshire, were both charged with murder on Sunday. The teenagers were also charged with conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm in connection with an alleged incident against a different person shortly before Gomoh was found stabbed on 26 April. Both will appear at Thames magistrates court on Monday. Gomoh’s mother, Marian, also works for the NHS as a matron at Newham hospital. A fundraising page has been set up by her colleagues to help with the costs of her son’s funeral. A statement on the page reads: “A mother should never have to bury her own child, especially just after the death of her husband. “Sister Marian has helped so many of us in the NHS, she has practised as both a nurse and midwife for over 20 years and is a credit to the service. She is currently matron of labour ward, where she goes above and beyond to support her staff with any problems they present to her. “Her life has been suddenly turned upside down and this is a chance for us to show our support and gratitude.” Gomoh was allegedly attacked in Freemasons Road by a group of four to five males moments after he left his home close to the NHS Nightingale hospital at the ExCel centre at 10.45pm. Gomoh was on the phone to a friend when he was attacked and had not been involved in any argument, police said.
