A man has been extradited from Nigeria and charged with the 2018 murder of a 23-year-old in London.
Matthew Adebiyi, 25, arrived in London on Wednesday and was charged with the murder of Joshua Boadu.
Boadu, known as SJ, was attacked in broad daylight on Linsey Street in Bermondsey, south London on June 11 2018.
He was taken to hospital in a critical condition with injuries to his chest, neck and arm, but suffered a heart attack on the way to hospital and his life support was turned off ten days later.
Adebiyi has been remanded in custody and will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court later on Wednesday.
Two others have previously been convicted of SJ’s murder, with Denilson Davis, 27, and a 16-year-old boy from the Southwark area sentenced at the Old Bailey in September 2019.
The killers drove to the site of the murder in a Peugeot and ambushed Boadu before fleeing in the car.
Police later obtained footage of the killers in a "celebratory mood" in a Lewisham recording studio later the same evening.
Less than a week after the attack, police officers noticed the Peugeot and saw the driver running away. Davis was arrested nearby, and his fingerprints, along with the DNA of the 16-year-old and Mr Boadu's blood were all found in the car.
A hunting knife and a mobile phone were recovered from the car, and Davis admitted they belonged to him.
Following their conviction in 2019, Boadu’s family released a statement, reading: "Words cannot begin to describe how life has been since Josh's passing and he will be forever in our hearts.
“Words cannot describe the heartache and emotional anguish this senseless killing has caused and the impact on the family has been astronomical.
"Josh had his whole life ahead of him and he was full of so much untapped potential but his life was cut short due to a vicious and senseless murder."
"Things will never be the same for us and we have to live with this for the rest of our lives.”
