Residents say they were kept up until 4am by music and fireworks at a wake for a stabbing victim.

Dontae McLaren, 24, died on Sunday September 29 in a knife fight that left two other men injured.

Since his passing a memorial was set up near his home in Wynter Street, Battersea, and multiple gatherings have been held in his honour.

On Tuesday October 8 the planned wake was held in the street from around 7pm until 4am - residents say.

Videos from the night show music blasting and fireworks being shot out of what appears to be a gun.
