Murder arrest after man, 40, found dead in flat in Wood Green

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 40-year-old was found dead at a flat in Haringey, north London.

Police were called to the property in Moselle Avenue, Wood Green, at 9.45pm on Friday (September 20).

They forced their way inside where they found a man dead.

He was on Monday named by police as 40-year-old Marvin Dixon. His family has been informed, and are being supported by specialist officers, said Scotland Yard.

A special post-mortem carried out on Sunday (September 22) found Mr Dixon died as a result of blunt force trauma.

A 36-year-old man was arrested in the Edmonton area on suspicion of murder on Sunday. He remained in custody at a north London police station on Monday.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, Specialist Crime, said: “I would like to hear from anyone who has been to the flat in recent weeks and who may know the occupants - and also from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area.

“It’s vital that we establish the movements of anyone who entered the property.”

Chief Inspector Lee Mckean, one of the senior officers responsible for policing Haringey, added: “We know that there will be genuine concern in the area and I would encourage anyone with information or concerns to speak with police. Additional officers will be in the area to support local people.”
