A 45-year-old man has appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court charged with the attempted murders of three people following two separate knife attacks in London on Wednesday. Essa Suleiman faces charges that span two parts of the city and two distinct incidents that prosecutors say took place within hours of each other on the same day.
As reported by the Guardian, prosecutor Emma Harraway told the court that Suleiman first attacked a man named Ishmail Hussein at his home in Southwark in south London. Suleiman then travelled across the city to Golders Green in north-west London where he arrived shortly after 11am and carried out a second attack targeting two Jewish men in the street.
