Seun McMillan, 23

''A man has been arrested at Heathrow Airport and charged with murder.
Seun McMillan, 23, died after being stabbed in Cowper Gardens, Southgate, on May 2 2017 as he walked towards his London home with friends.

Jarrad O’Field was charged with murder on Tuesday (February 15) after arriving at Heathrow Airport on a flight from Canada, the Metropolitan Police said.

O’Field, 24, who is of no fixed address and has also been charged with conspiracy to supply class A and B drugs over a separate matter, will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.''

Wondering what a person of ''no fixed address'' was doing on a plane returning from Canada? imo.

''Jarrad O'Field was charged with murder on Tuesday over the fatal stabbing, police said.
The 24-year-old, who is of no fixed address, has also been charged with conspiracy to supply class A and B drugs over a separate matter.
He will appear at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
Speaking on the first anniversary of the stabbing in 2018, Mr McMillan's mother, Chantelle Bucknor, said her son was "jovial, handsome, the life and soul of the party".

"Everyone loved Seun. He would come in and be very polite and very manageable," she said''.

Presumably he's been out of the UK for a while (maybe fled after the murder) and did not maintain an address here? Rather than him being a homeless person?

My guess is that he's a professional international drug smuggler and Seun interfered with that somehow.

Seun Mcmillan: First picture of 'wonderful and caring' young man stabbed to death in Southgate | London Evening Standard | Evening Standard
''Mr Mcmillan was the seventh fatal victim of knife crime on London’s streets in ten days.

Homicide detectives believe the 23-year-old was attacked four miles away in a playing field at Masefield Crescent, close to his family home. He is thought to have been driven to hospital.''
''Witnesses said they alerted police after an argument broke out “over money” between a group of young men gathered in the park. The victim was seen to collapse as he fled back towards his home.''

''A cousin, who did not wish to be named, told the Standard: “He was just so bubbly, he is just a normal guy and he didn’t deserve what happened. He wasn’t supposed to be there.
“The last time I saw him at the park we were playing football, he loved it and played centre back''.

I did notice in the below article that there was a £20,000 reward. That may have motivated someone. Strangely this was the only article I saw it mentioned in, even though every other article is near enough exactly the same word for word.
