Murdered 21-year-old named by London Police

The 21-year-old man stabbed to death in Primrose Hill on Tuesday 7 April has been named as Finbar Sullivan by the London Metropolitan Police.

He was attacked during a large fight at the park’s viewpoint at 6.40pm on Tuesday with a group of men reportedly knifing him to the ground.

Paramedics treated Finbar for multiple stab wounds, but he died at the scene a short time later.

A second injured man, believed to be in his 20s, was found by police nearby on Regent’s Park Road and rushed to hospital.

His condition is not life-changing or life-threatening, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement last night.

No arrests have been made in connection and a crime scene remains in place.

Photos taken at the scene earlier on Wednesday show a large cordon sealing off the North London park. A yellow forensics tent is being guarded by officers, MyLondon online reported.

Detective Inspector Andy Griffin, who is leading the murder investigation, said: “Finbar’s family have suffered a devastating loss and our thoughts are with them as they navigate this very challenging time. Our investigation is progressing at pace and we are following several lines of inquiry.

“This incident occurred in a busy, public park and there may be many witnesses who can help us piece together what happened. We are aware of footage circulating on social media around the time of the incident, and urge anyone who has any information, including photos or videos, which could support the investigation to urgently contact us.”
