Two men arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a teenage musician in south London have been bailed.

Rapper and university student Carl Beatson was knifed after performing his first single with DJ trio Kid N' Play at Club Life in Kennington on Friday night.

Police found the 19-year-old's body at 5.30am after they pulled over three cars for ignoring red lights near Waterloo station. Officers believe Carl, from Norbury, also known as Charmz, was being driven to hospital when the car was stopped.

One of the other DJs was injured during the fight and was treated and discharged from hospital.

Police arrested an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old in connection with the killing. The two men have been bailed to return in early September pending further inquiries.

Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to call the incident room on 020 8721 4005 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
