Detectives have charged a man with murder after a 21-year-old was stabbed to death in north London
Finbar Sullivan died following the attack in Primrose Hill on Tuesday, 7 April, sparking a major murder investigation by the Met Police.
Oliuwadamilola Ogunyankinnu, 27, of Enfield, North London, was arrested on Friday and charged with murder today (Sunday, April 12).
Ogunyankinnu will appear at Stratford Magistrates’ Court on Monday, April 13.
A 25-year-man, who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, was released with no further action.
Emergency services were called to the scene last week, with paramedics unable to save Mr Sullivan despite efforts to treat him. His family are being supported by specially trained officers.
Detective Inspector Andy Griffin, who is leading the investigation, said: “My thoughts remain with Finbar’s family who continue to receive support from specialist officers at this unimaginably difficult time.
“Although we have made two arrests, my officers continue to work around the clock to trace everyone involved. I’d like to thank the public who have come forward with information so far. If you are yet to speak to us, or share footage from Tuesday relating to this incident, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Anything you submit could have a huge impact on our investigation.
“In the meantime, residents can expect to see an increased police presence as dedicated local officers continue patrols in Primrose Hill and the surrounding areas.”
Police have stepped up patrols in the area as inquiries continue, with officers appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or captured footage to come forward.
The investigation is ongoing, with police continuing to ask anyone relevant information to upload it to the police major incident portal here, or contact police on 101, quoting reference 6448/07Apr. An anonymous report can be made via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
