Three charged after Abdulkadir Mahamed stabbed to death in Clapham street fight

Abdulkadir Mahamed, 22, died after he was stabbed in a street fight near Clapham High Street in the early hours of 25 July 2025. The incident occurred close to Tremadoc Road at approximately 04:20, the Metropolitan Police said.

Three men have appeared in court charged in connection with the death. Dvontre McCalla, 30, of Streatham, appeared at the Old Bailey on 4 August 2025 charged with murder. He was remanded in custody following a short hearing.

Javed Khan, 22, of Wandsworth, has been charged with murder and violent disorder. Adonay Berhan, 27, of Mason’s Avenue in Croydon, has been charged with assisting an offender, as reported by the Wandsworth Guardian.

Weapons used on both sides, court told

Prosecutor Rebecca Hummerstone told the Old Bailey that the fatal incident followed a large fight that broke out shortly after bars in the area closed. People were milling in the street when the confrontation began.

Hummerstone said Mahamed was on one side of the argument, while McCalla and others were on the opposite side. Four other men attended hospital with stab wounds, none of which were life-threatening, the Metropolitan Police confirmed.

Police investigation continues

Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Lee, who is leading the investigation, said the day after the incident that enquiries were progressing quickly. Officers arrested six men on suspicion of murder, and the investigation into further suspects remains ongoing.

Lee said residents in the area would notice an increased police presence as enquiries continued. A provisional trial date has been set for March 2027 at the Old Bailey.
