Murder arrest over Primrose Hill stabbing

A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of Finbar Sullivan who was stabbed to death in Primrose Hill.

Officers were called to reports of a fight at the north London beauty spot on Tuesday where filmmaking student Sullivan, 21, was found fatally injured. He died at the scene.

The Met Police said a 25-year-old man had also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

The two men were held on Friday and remain in police custody.

Police had been called to Primrose Hill shortly after 18:30 BST.

A second man, aged in his 20s, was also discovered with stab injuries by officers on nearby Regent's Park Road.

He was taken to hospital, where his injuries were assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing.

Det Insp Andy Griffin 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."

He thanked members of the public who have already come forward and urged anyone with information or footage from the area on the day of the attack to get in touch.

"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," Griffin added.
