Two men have been arrested after a 21-year-old was stabbed to death in north London, police have confirmed.
Finbar Sullivan died following the attack in Primrose Hill on Tuesday, 7 April, sparking a major murder investigation by the Met Police.
Detectives say a 27-year-old man was held on suspicion of murder on Friday, 10 April. A second man, aged 25, was arrested at the same time on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Both suspects remain in custody.
Emergency services were called to the scene earlier in the week, with paramedics unable to save the 21-year-old 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.
