The Enfield resident is due to appear in court on Monday
A man has been charged with murder after a 21-year-old was stabbed to death in Primrose Hill. Oliuwadamilola Ogunyankinnu, 27, is accused of killing filmmaking student Finbar Sullivan at the Camden park’s popular viewpoint on April 7.
Emergency services responded to reports of a large fight at 6.41pm, where a group were allegedly seen knifing a man to the ground. Paramedics treated Finbar for multiple stab wounds but he died at the scene a short time later.
Ogunyankinnu, of Southbury Road, Enfield was charged with his murder earlier today (April 12), the Metropolitan Police said in a statement this afternoon. He was arrested on Friday and will appear at Stratford Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.
Finbar’s father Christopher Sullivan previously told The Daily Mail that his son had gone to the area to use a new camera he had got for his birthday. The family had all chipped in to buy the gift.
“This is the worst tragedy I could ever imagine,” Christopher told the newspaper, “He’s my only son… I had him when I was 45. He can never be replaced.”
He added: “I’m so broken-hearted, I can’t believe it. He was the most beautiful, lovely, outgoing, loving boy. He was just a really lovely person.”
The musician said his son had ambitions to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, cameraman Michael Seresin, who worked on Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban and Rambo III.
A 25-year-man, who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been released with no further action.
Anyone with relevant footage or information is urged to contact 101, quoting 6448/07Apr. An anonymous report can be made to Crimestoppers via 0800 555 111.
