Detectives appeal for information following Haringey murder

Detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a 21-year-old man died following a stabbing in Haringey.

Officers were called to Lordship Lane at 18:07hrs on Friday, 13 November following a report that a man had been stabbed. The London Ambulance Service attended but, despite their best efforts, the 21-year-old was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

He has been named as Thomas Oduro from Tottenham.

His next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers. An investigation has been launched, and officers are working hard to establish the full circumstances surrounding Thomas’s murder.

Detective Chief Inspector Phil Clarke, who is leading the investigation, said: “Thomas’s family have suffered a devastating loss. Our thoughts are with them, and they continue to be supported by specialist officers.

“Enquiries continue at the scene and there will be an increased police presence in the area over the coming days.

“As part of our investigation, I’m urging anyone who was in the area of Lordship Recreation Ground around 18:00hrs on Friday, or who has information which may be relevant, to speak to officers or get in touch as soon as possible.”

Those with information can contact police via 101, quoting CAD 5439/13NOV26, or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111.
