LONDON (Reuters) - A 20-year-old man has become the sixth person to be charged with the murder of a barman in London, according to police.

Reece Sargeant of Kennington, south London, will appear at Camberwell Magistrates Court on Thursday to face charges that he and five others murdered David Morley, 37, police said on Wednesday.

Morley was killed in the early hours of October 30 on the South Bank, a popular area of theatres, restaurants and nightspots near the River Thames.

He had been with a friend who was also attacked. An autopsy on Morley, who survived the 1999 nail bombing of the Admiral Duncan pub in London's Soho which killed three people, concluded he died of multiple injuries to his head and torso.

Sargeant is also charged with the attempted assault of two other men, robbery and violent disorder.

Five other teenagers, Barry Lee, 19, a market trader from south London, a 17-year-old male, two 16-year-old boys and a 14-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have already been charged in connection with the murder.
