A 24-year-old man is set to stand trial accused of murder of a man who died six years after he was stabbed outside Sainsbury's.
Jamel Boyce was only 17 when he suffered severe brain damage after being knifed outside the supermarket in Clapham in October 2016.
Jamel was left blind, paralysed and unable to speak.
He died in a care home aged 22 in February 2022.
His cause of death was ruled, after a post-mortem examination, to be a penetrating injury to the chest.

Osei-Kofi appeared at the Old Bailey from custody on Tuesday (January 9).
He did not enter a plea during the brief hearing.

A provisional trial was fixed for October 28.
