Two brothers aged 14 and 16 were remanded in custody today after appearing in court charged with the murder of a woman at a christening in London.

They are accused of killing Zainab Kalokoh, 33, who was cradling a baby at the family celebration in Peckham, south east London, when she was shot in the head on Saturday.

The 14-year-old, of Peckham, and the older youth, of New Cross, south east London, also faced charges of robbery at the party. They will next appear at Camberwell Green youth court on September 7. A bail application for the older youth was denied.
