A teenager - who can't be named for legal reasons - has denied stabbing a 17-year-old to death in a fight on Crown Street in Acton.

Usaama Ali, 17, a former Acton High School pupil, collapsed near a GP's surgery on Friday 16th October. He had been stabbed through the heart.

Headteacher of Acton High School Andy Sievwright paid tribute to the teenager at the time saying: 'All of us within the Acton High School community have been saddened to hear of the passing of Usaama Ali, one of our ex-students.

"Our thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time.''
